Divorce may open your eyes to a bright new future
June 8, 2011
Are you recently divorced and now faced with the challenges of being a single mom without a college degree? According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2010 the divorce rate in America was 3.4 per 1,000 people, making this a real concern for many parents in today's society.
Pursing a degree to better your situation could be a positive experience during this difficult time, as you may have the opportunity to study a subject you've always been drawn to in the past. If you're a creative person and love computers, you could focus your skills on web or graphic design and create logos and websites for different companies. These options may also allow you to work from home, which, as a single mom, would give you the freedom to pick up your kids from school or attend their events without worry.
Breaking into these fields can be challenging, but it's something that will ultimately make a difference in the lives of your family. Many scholarships for single parents are available, so receiving some form of financial aid should be doable, leaving you nothing but yourself standing in the way of your bright future.
