Get your groove back in the professional world
June 30, 2011
Are you a mom who has seen success in the past, but once you had kids, put your professional aspirations to bed in order to be a stay at home mom? Now that your children have left the nest, it may be time for you to consider dusting off the books and earning a new degree to get you back in the saddle.
If you already have a degree, you may want to obtain an associate's degree in a new field as a way to get your foot in the door of a new company, since you took some time off in between professions. Remember what you loved about the workplace, and find a degree that will implement the aspects you're looking for as a way to hone in on a career you'll enjoy.
The cost of college has increased since the last time you were there, so look into financial aid for moms or grants for parents as a way to ease the burden on your wallet. Another great thing about going back to school in the technologically savvy world is the fact that you can now go to school online. Many reputable colleges offer classes online, which can give you the freedom to work from home towards your rejuvenated career.
