Where do I start?!?!

Question

I am a single mom and I know going back to school will be hard but it is possible. I just have no idea where to start! Any tips?

Answer

My mom worked 40 hours a week and went to school full time after I was born! She had me at 18! I say just jump in and do it! You're going to be so glad you did! It's goes so much faster than people realize and yes it's extremely difficult even without a baby so it's going to be tough! Just think of the feeling of walking across that stage after all the hard work you put in! That's what keeps me motivated to keep going! You'll give you and your precious child a much better life and if you start now you'll be living that better life sooner! :) Just wanna say good luck and you can do it!! :)

Answer

Yes it will be difficult but you have to map out a plan. I go to Ashford just one class every 5 weeks and its manageable and also passed my postal exam so keep faith.

Answer

Start with basic courses that are required by all programs, English 1301, history 1301, the 1302s for both of those, government... Find a program you are interested in or a field of study, then find what the requirements are for that. It will be overwhelming. Plus side to basics, they can be done online. There is actually a website that you can go on that people rate professors so that makes it easier to pick an online prof. I would recommend doing a couple of online classes to start out with, maybe English and history, then if you are ready to add on another class adding on a science. If you can't dedicate time to be on campus, then that would be the way to go.

Hey sweetie! My mom went back to school! She was 38 when she went back. My best tip is to work hard when you can. You have to work your butt off to get things done on a mommy schedule. If it is possible to wait a few more years, then I would advise waiting. My mom waited until I was 18, my bro was 15, and my sis was 11. We were all basically able to take care of ourselves for a few hours while mom did homework! I hope this helps! May God bless you!

Answer

What do you mean? Do you know what you want a degree in? Or is it about how to manage being a single mom & workload? I can't speak to the 2nd q. But, I just completed a full time MBA while working full time as well. I don't generally recommend part time unless you know you have the drive to push through it- it takes so long it would be easy to quit. At least with full time financial aid usually covers some portion of living expenses and you are on your way to a higher income much faster.  You just need to figure out if you can handle not just the class time but also homework load while taking care of your child.
