Give your children the life they deserve – by going back to school
June 20, 2011
As the cost of raising children continues to increase, the "stay-at-home mom" is quickly becoming a thing of the past. According to the U.S. Census Bureau 2010, if you're one of the 38 percent of women who are going it alone, lacking the proper education can be detrimental to your family life, as you may be less likely to be able to afford the items your kids need.
Life can be a challenge, but as a single mother, you've already proved that the old adage is true: What doesn't kill you does indeed make you stronger. With all the obstacles in your way, it may be time to consider going back to school to equip yourself with the tools and knowledge you and your kids need to live a better life.
If you need help paying for college, consider financial aid for moms and single mother scholarships, aimed at giving you the chance to better your life financially. Through college, you'll be able to find a job that affords you the freedom to spend more time with your children while gaining other benefits associated with earning a college degree.
