The back to school frenzy is here and many of us are scrambling around looking for backpacks, notebooks and the latest back-to-school fashions. This time of year has caused me to reflect on the anticipation I used to feel as a child about beginning a new school year. How exciting!Well, children aren’t the only ones that are going back to school. Many stay-at-home moms as well as seasoned professional women decide to seek higher education during the more mature stages of life. This can be a very daunting experience; however, being older than your fellow students can offer some advantages.
A bit of advice…unfortunately, college courses don't have sick days and parental leave, so if you have a lot of personal and job responsibilities, cut back on your course load or take an online course. For some more helpful information, visit Women to College, the working woman's online guide to education. This site offers helpful career news, tools and the latest information on degree programs from some of the country's top universities. In addition, there are resources to help you select and apply to the school that is right for you.
It’s never too late to earn a college degree or pursue continuing education. Learning is a lifelong process. Live, laugh, love, learn and stay connected!
