Personal care aide field continues to show promising growth
April 18, 2012
Many moms know how difficult it can be to provide for their household when they don't have the educational experience to pursue a profitable career. As time goes on, it's becoming more important to have a college degree in order to earn a high-salary job.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that in 2011, individuals with a bachelor's degree made an average of $1,053 per week compared to the $719 that people earned when they only had some postsecondary schooling.
If you are interested in going back to school, you might want to consider pursuing studies in a field that is showing promising growth. Employment in the personal care aide field is predicted to increase by 70.5 percent between 2010 and 2020, making this a viable option if you are seeking employment immediately after graduating.
If you're one of the many moms concerned about how you're going to pay for school, you might want to consider grants for parents and scholarships for mothers. These financial resources can help curb the cost of tuition and do not have to be repaid in the future.
