Real people’s stories of life beyond school

Jessica Arm

Jessica graduated from Waterville High School in 2005 and enrolled at the University of Tampa for her freshman year of college. After switching majors multiple times, Jessica settled on studying psychology. For her sophomore year, Jessica transferred to University of Maine Orono because of the unavailability of financial aid at University of Tampa. She graduated from UMO in 2009, but has since been unable to find jobs related to her major in psychology. She is now working in insurance and pursuing her business degree at Thomas College. Jessica is considering going back to school again for a law degree once she has her MBA.
