Instead of working two jobs, choose one that will get you somewhere
August 9, 2011
Working mothers have a lot on their plates when it comes to providing for their families, and balancing two jobs to make ends meet is no way to keep a family together. If you've been itching to stop taking job after job and start a career instead, it's never too late to go back to school.
With the wide range of scholarships for adults and other forms of financial aid and federal grants, there are plenty of opportunities for those who put their noses to the grindstone. When you've secured the proper funding and have a plan in place, there's nothing stopping you from realizing your life goals.
To earn a bit of extra money on the side, see if you can quit one job and adjust the hours of the other. This way you will be able to continue providing for your family while keeping a schedule that allows you to complete your coursework. The first step is always the hardest, but when you decide, you'll be well on your way to a happier and less stressful life.
