August 18, 2011
Motherhood is a 24/7 job, so it's no wonder that many women feel like they're betraying their family by wanting to further their careers and head back to school. This couldn't be farther from the truth - in today's world, the stay-at-home mom has the ability to follow her passions and make a better life for herself, while being a good mother at the same time.
Online learning has exploded over the recent decade, and it has become a viable option for mothers who want to stay home with their children and still get an education. There are a wide range of degree programs that you can take online at your own pace.
If you'd rather join an on-campus environment, there are plenty of colleges that accommodate working professionals and full-time moms alike. You simply need to make the necessary preparations for childcare, transportation and time to do your schoolwork.
Funding your education doesn't have to be an obstacle. With the selection of college scholarships and grants for parents, there's nothing stopping you from realizing your dreams and finding the career that is meant for you.
