So many people started college and for some reason left and never completed it. Many for good reasons, some for not so good reasons. Either way, more than 95% of them wish they never left. The advantages provided by a college degree continue for one’s lifetime. No, it’s not easy to complete and graduate college, but nothing of value is easy.
Good news is it’s never too late and it’s never been more convenient to go back! With online colleges now readily available, so many people who left college can now take courses online and finally finish what they had started years ago. In fact, more people than ever have started to do so and have found success online. Any college credits you earned still count towards your degree. What that means is that your time was not wasted, you don’t have to take as many programs as a new learner, AND your costs will be less as the colleges charge by credits.
You need to make a decision and a commitment as you do not want to start and stop again, you want to start and graduate! Talk to your friends and family and you will find a support structure that will help you achieve your goal of obtaining a college degree. Isn’t it time to restart you career along a path only available with a college degree?
If not today, when?
I agree with your assessment. I went to college for two years and wish I stayed and finished. I have been extremely fortunate to have success despite my lack of a degree but I have no doubt that having finished college would have expedited my success. I had to start at the ground level in a job and work up to a position years later that would have been entry level had I finished college and had a degree. I am considering going back to college online to get my degree now which wasn’t really an option when I went to college. I agree, going to college online is a great option that will allow students to work and have the flexibility to get a degree. I am going to apply to University of Phoenix and Strayer Online.
thank you for your insight.
so important to go back to college if you can and with the online college option available, it is easier then ever before. no one can take away your college degree and it will definitely enhance your ability to be more marketable to employers or get a raise from your current employer. A large number of employers will also contribute to paying for college. It worked for me.
It is so hard to go back to school and sit in classroom when you are used to doing your own thing. This is why i chose to take classes online to earn my business degree. I am a mother one with one on the way and I was able to finish my bachelor’s before she arrives. As you stated, i certainly wish I never left but being able to complete it with my feet up really made a difference. If you are scared of going back, you MUST try online courses. it almost feels like you you beating the system
