Give yourself options as a mom by going to college
July 12, 2011
If you had a child earlier in life, which put a halt to your dreams of pursing a higher education, now may be the time to consider bettering your life and the life of your child.
Yes, it will be hard to add another thing to juggle to your already full schedule, but think about the rewards you'll receive if you get an education. You'll finally have the chance to embark on a career path that boasts longevity and stability, which, as a mom, you know all-too-well is very important. By entering the workforce with a college degree, you'll be able to apply for jobs you couldn't even consider without one, jobs that offer benefits and the comfort of working nine-to-five, Monday through Friday.
Nowadays, you can choose to go after an associate's degree instead of a bachelor's degree, which gives you the option to begin a profession within many fields in just two years. Single mother scholarships and financial aid for moms are readily available and may be an option for you if paying for college is a concern for you. Show your child and yourself that you really are limitless by earning a degree that will lead to a bright future for your family.
