Stay at home mom going back to College~
« on: August 28, 2012, 03:17:32 pm »
I am a stay at home mom of 3 beautiful kids (2 of which I am homeschooling) and I am going back to college. Sometimes I think I am crazy other times I am so excited to be trying something new and going after something that will hopefully help our family in the future.
I have not been in school for 10 years so I am a bit rusty and nervous. I am getting my basics done so I can focus on my degree which will be Fashion Design :)

Hey good luck on returning to college. Enjoy the process as well as graduation. (Yes that may be a ways off.) I am debating returning as well. But I am a graduate of the school I would return to, so I am not doing anything special. You on the other hand are to be congratulated! Have fun and good luck working on your "Fashion Design" degree or program.

Thank you very much for the encouragement. Yes it may be a while before graduation lol probably 3 years or more for a 2 year program. :)

Good Luck!! It's tough with the kiddos. I am a stay at home mom also, but I finished my degree when I was still in the military. I have my GI Bill to use yet though, so I will have to get my masters degree as a stay at home mom.  :sad1: My husband on the other had.......did not finish.....nor did he start college while he was in the military. I feel bad for him since he works to support our family and then has to go to school......not easy courses either. He will be done in the spring though.....finally he will be an electrical engineer! I still give him crap though because he knows he should have been taking courses in the military and he would have been done a long time ago. Gonna love when he can actually be home every night and not have to spend all weekend on homework.

I was thinking of doing an over the internet masters with one of the better universities, but I'm afraid of not getting the same level of education out of it or potential employers taking it seriously.

I just started college as well, although I'm only 18 and not a parent. I'm a philosophy major, and I'm the only freshman with this major at a school with 60,000 students.
