ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — When the pandemic hit, many people had to press "pause" on their career. However, one woman took advantage of the extra time at home to switch to a more rewarding career – without spending a dime.
Alicia Lopez's priority is her family. Her old job had tough hours, and then the pandemic hit.
"I was working at the brewery and I was laid off," Lopez said.
Contemplating a career change, she thought of her children.
"The reason I wanted to go into education is because, you know, I do have children and I saw the impact that their teachers were making," she said.
