An empty nest is the perfect opportunity to go back to school
August 10, 2011
Mothers who have put in the hard work and sacrifice it takes to raise their children right may be wondering what life has in store for them once the kids are off pursuing their own respective careers. In addition to picking up a new hobby or joining a gym, maybe now is the perfect time to go back and finish your degree.
Whether you found other employment opportunities or gave up a job to take care of your kids, it's never too late to go back and finish your bachelor's degree. Not only will this open up your career opportunities, but it will provide the intellectual stimulation that only an academic environment can provide.
There are plenty of scholarships for adults available to help ease the financial strain of continuing your degree program. Money shouldn't be a concern - finishing your degree is all about your own personal happiness and the satisfaction of finishing what you started. With a goal like this in sight, you can start to move on from the obligations of motherhood and carve a path for yourself.
