Hey everyone.
I am 28 years old and have 3 young children. I recently applied for an online college. And got accepted. I haven't seriously been going to college in the past, I tried but didn't even finish my first semester due to stress and financial difficulties caring for us.
My question now is about school. Is a 4 year degree really important for me to get. i honestly don't know. I hate school, especialy knowing that I'm a single mother of 3 kids and they come first. That's why I was thinking of doing online school. I can study from home while they are asleep etc. I also don't have a job right now, I'm looking. Life is hard. If I went to school this fall, i do qualify for financial aid, but would have to accept stafford loans as well. I would have money left over to pay rent and provide for us. At least a few thousands every semester. I have been thru a lot. So please be nice, i'm just asking for honest advise of what you think. Should I just find full time job or should I get into school debt and just go to school? I would be majoring in computer technology. And for the most part you don't need a degree in that but some certificates in that field is enough i was told by professionals. Please tell me what you think. It's not easy to find a flexible job, as i have to take and pick up my children from school.
Thank you for your time.
