Personal Development & Community: Education

Why do you want to do this?

Since I have been underemployed I felt like that may not be a better time to go back to school. In the future, I *will* be employed in some kind of job as I already have a bachelor's degree but once I have that job it will be easy to get into a career routine. I wish I had the chance to "find" my career thru trial and error but the economy didn't make that possible. Compared to my peers, I came out of my undergraduate with a very modest amount of student loan debt but wouldn't be able to pay it off in 5 years with my job options. So, going back to school immediately will hopefully give me more earning power and a better network to get into my career and pay off the enormous debt. I hope that one day this will be on the best decisions I have made.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Another student loan for one more semester.

Two more semesters or 14 more credit hours.

To get into the required courses and good grades in stats.

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

Money - enormous student loans are scary when you are still unemployed.
