If you didn't have the chance to complete your degree program during college for whatever reason, fear may be clouding your decision to go back to school. Whether it's the financial implications or anxiety about feeling uncomfortable in the classroom, now is the time to look your inhibitions in the eye and make a better life for yourself.
So what are you afraid of? You're the only person who can answer this question - getting to the heart of why you feel this way can help you stay the course. Reach out to your friends and family for advice - they will probably tell you that it's more than worth it to take the plunge and go back to earn your degree.
