Being laid off can be a wake up call to pursue a better life
September 20, 2011
Getting laid off from a job can be one of the most depressing experiences in your life, but instead of going back through the interview process to find a similar position, maybe now is the perfect time to take a bad turn of events and turn it into a positive life-changing venture.
Earning a college degree is one of the greatest investments you can make in your future, and it can open up a world of opportunities where you're valued for your talents rather than being just another interchangeable cog in a company. It will allow you to pursue your passions in a field that truly makes you happy and can offer a greater degree of job security.
With the many college funding options available, college is more affordable than ever. Federal grants, college scholarships and other forms of financial aid are there for the taking, but it will require a significant amount of research and writing application essays to help cover your expenses.
Instead of worrying about your job security in a job you may not really like, pursue your passions and complete a degree program to make a better life for yourself and your family.
