After Thirteen years of finishing an A.S. Degree in Interior Design, I feel the need of going back to college to increase my knowledge to be able to keep up the busy world and with my own personal expectations and goals. It is a big responsibility and commitment that I am getting into after having started a family. It is definitely different to start again but there is so much competition, and salary differences based on education levels and opportunities that one needs to be prepared with a bachelor’s degree to obtain the best no matter what your age is. I made the great decision of starting a B.S. in Business because it is important to me to be qualified for a productive job and to obtain the knowledge necessary to run a business properly. In order to be successful in life you have to be secure and feel comfortable with yourself and with your capability. I want to be independent and achieve success and be competitive. Therefore, I have a strong belief that a college degree enables people to demonstrate they have what it takes to finish what they start. Having a higher level of education increases the opportunity of having a higher income. Having a family, the expenses are higher between doctors appointments, mortgage, insurance , school expenses and much more money is never enough to keep all the expenses . So for sure having a bachelors degree its one the way to assure a higher income It’s not the same having only a high school diploma that having proper qualifications for a specific area of interest. Opportunities, job offers and salary vary based on the academic accomplishments and skills people have. What ever your age is, never it’s too late to start college. Your desire, your dreams and your wants to do it will be enough to complete your goal . In my case, I am 42 and I want to increase my wisdom, be a better person and be a good example for my kids. Its worth the time, the effort and the money expend . Everything will be rewarded at the end. As an Indian teacher called Chanakya said “Education is the best friend. An educated person is respected everywhere . Education beats the beauty and the youth”. Today’s world requires a far greater perspective, knowledge and experience in order to achieve success. As B.B king said “The beautiful thing about learning is that no one can take it away from you”. So, in particular the area of study I am focusing provides the necessary tools and attributes that Ineed to become a more independent professional. I have plans to improve and develop a sound financial career and thus improving my quality of life.
