How far did you get in school?

Hoping to go back soon

in college now

Both Mr. and Mrs. Bignuf finished multiple grad school degrees.....work a lot of hours in our careers and yet STILL find the time to "play" here at EF. Gotta love it!!!!

Congrats...that is not easy to do. Keep up the good work and finish. It is something no one can take away from you, once done!

You go girl.

...this too shall pass

The time passes anyway. Hopefully the time you spend now will equal a much brighter future, with more options, later.

That's a funny response. The English degree you mention and the other you leave out. Interesting, indeed.

Advice...KEEP GOING. An AA or even a BS in Psych really don't translate into many real world jobs, but that ONE next step, therapist, councilor, or the stepping stone to medical school, law school or even a PhD in Psych and the world is your oyster!!!! LOTS of options then open for you.

What are you studying?

CONGRATS.

Lesson in life....ONE degree (finishing) is worth more (in terms of carreers and income) then a hundred partial degrees or certificates. Something to think about. Keep your enthusiasm, just finish ONE of those "tracks".

It is never easy to balance life events like that AND school, but keep going...don't lose your drive or motivation. The long term financial and opportunities, which will benefit you and your children, will make it worthwhile.

I know a young lady who had a kid WAY too early. She had two more after getting married young....and then HE left her too. With THREE small children, a dead end job stocking shelves during the day, while the kids were in Day School, she decided, "enough is enough". She got sitters to help keep the kids in the late afternoon, and on weekends attended classes as well. It took her FIVE YEARS to get a BSN, but she went from a minimum wage job to a $65,000 a year job immediately. Now, with her kids in "real school", she has worked her butt off to quickly rise to a supervisor, with an over $80,000 a year salary and is going to online school to get her Masters in nursing and doing some "ICU hands on" to get to be a "Nurse Specialist", which will, within less then two years, take her well over the $125,000 salary range. She says "the cares of the world were lifted off her shoulders" as she now does not fret about the COST of raising her children and can give the the life she wants to. The time would have passed anyway. YES, it was hard, but so was working at her "dead end" job. She made some bold choices and put her ALL into doing this...and NOW is reaping the rewards. JUST KEEP AT IT, BECK, you can too.
