Hey everyone!
I just wanted to share a bit of my story for anyone out there wondering if getting a degree is still worth it.
I finished school while being married and raising a child. It wasn’t glamorous—far from it. There were long nights, early mornings, and more than a few moments where I questioned if I could really pull it off. On top of that, paying for school was a serious financial strain. Every semester felt like a gamble—on myself.
But I kept going.
And now, I’m on the other side. I’m actively looking for jobs in my field, and for the first time, I don’t have to rely on physically demanding work like most of my friends still do. That alone makes every sacrifice feel worth it.
If you’re in the thick of it—juggling family, bills, and coursework—just know that it does pay off. It’s not just about the degree. It’s about proving to yourself that you can do hard things. That you can build a better future, even when the odds aren’t in your favor.
Keep going. You’re not alone.
