advice on going back to school...

[Tylersmama06]

Well lets see..where do I start....

I think I may have had a life changing thought this morning, I am really thinking about going back to school. I mean I am only going for my Office Systems Specialist Certificate, but I think it would be good for me.  I was looking at differant jobs online for someone with a certificate like that, and do you know that I could DOUBLE..yes I said DOUBLE what I make now if I have a certificate.  It makes me wonder what I have been waiting for.  I have a 2 year old and well I guess that slowed me down, and I also have my younger brother living with me (he's 17) but still another person to worry about and cart around.  My husband is in his last stretch of school and getting his Construction and Materials Engineering degree...so I guess it's time.  We are thinking of having another baby as soon as my son gets fully potty trained...so I think I could sneak this program in there.  Hmmmmm...any thoughts on this ladies... I am kinda nervous, but excited all at the sametime. :)

Funding should be easier to nail down before your husband gets out of school and since you don't have a bachelors you are a fantastic candidate for grants. (You don't have to pay those back.) Now is the time. Especially the way the economy is headed, the most education you can get will help you stay above the curve and be there when your family needs you.
