One thing I always wished I had done while younger was finish up my college degree. However, it wasn't until I was in my mid-30s that I had the chance and the money to finally pursue that dream. You don't have to wait if you want to finish your degree. This year Congress has allotted millions of dollars to the government scholarships for moms. You can claim your share of this money by following a few simple steps.
* Register, apply, and submit a FAFSA, Free Application for Federal Student Aid
* Research a career that you are interested in or that is projected to have job growth in the near future. Many careers fields already have a shortage of qualified applicants. Perhaps one of these is right for you.
* Find the right college or university that fits you and has the degree you are interested in.
* Do not rule out online universities as a source for your higher education
* Make an appointment to visit with the financial aid office to discuss other means of helping to finance your education such as private grants and scholarships
* Visit with the academic counselor to determine what courses you will need.
* Enroll in school and get started.
As you can see, it might not take you all that long to be on the road to college. You may already know what you would like to study and if you do, then you will be that much ahead of the game.
A degree will give you a tremendous edge in the job market. You will be able to choose the job rather than be forced to have the job just to have a paycheck. Also, you will be able to receive promotions within your chosen area.
In addition to the financial benefits of a college degree, you will also serve as a positive role model for your children. Children that come from homes in which one or both parents have college degrees are much more likely to attend college themselves.
So, take that first step and receive the government scholarship that is your right to have. It won't be long and you will be walking across the stage wi th a new diploma in hand.
