I've had 13 people answer the "Why Go Back" poll. I must say I am surprised so far. Here are the answers:
The winners so far are I want to achieve my dreams and I have many different reasons for going back to school. I guess I thought more people would say they were going back for money or to completely change their lives. Oh well! I will run this poll again later on, maybe with more answers. And why are you going back to school - or are you thinking about it? Did you already go? You can also take the poll.

Well the truth is, there *are* many reasons. Last September I lost my job of 12 years. I am in my forties. I never got to finish college after I married. How I struggled for those mistakes! Then I had to raise two children by myself following that 9 year marriage and subsequent divorce. It is my time to improve my life financially (if that is possible in today's world.) I looked around and I couldn't find a job in a different field or any field making what I had made after my term at the previous job - even doing the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI know how things can look so different years later. Hindsight truly IS 20/20. I have seen some articles on what jobs pay great and will be in demand later. In fact, this gives me a good idea for another blog!
ReplyDeleteI hope you succeed in finding something you love AND makes some good money too.
