It’s never too late to go back to college
August 5, 2011
As a mother, you have your priorities in order. Your kids always come first, but paying the bills is a close second - and it's not always easy. For lots of women who gave up their dreams of higher education to raise a family, finding a job that offers a good salary without unreasonable hours can be a challenge. If you're looking for a way to improve your life - and the lives of your children - going back to school could be the answer.
There are plenty of reasons why mothers might choose not to attend college in their youth, from financial worries to familial pressure to educational fatigue. But if you're tired of flipping burgers, working dead-end jobs and bringing home a measly paycheck that's barely enough for your kids to live on, college is the answer - and it's never too late! Whether you're in your 20s, 30s, 40s or beyond, there's a college for you.
Worried that you won't be able to find it in your budget to attend school? Don't fret. There are plenty of scholarships for parents and single mothers that are designed to help women just like you get back into education, graduate on time and find better jobs.
If you're ready to take the next step for your family, now's the time!
