How Earning a Degree Will Change My Life
How Earning A Degree Will Change My Life

Earning a degree will change my life, and my children’s life in many ways.
A degree would help us in this economic downturn. I have been working at Village Inn as a server for a year now, and while it pays the bills, there is no room to go on vacation, or go out to eat ourselves. There are no emergency funds set aside. Our economy may be getting better; however I do not believe I can get a head working at Village Inn. I will continue skating by, or worse, an emergency may happen and I will not have the funds to cover it. A degree would give me pride in myself. I’ve always wanted to go to college, however I could never find the right time. A degree would help me accomplish a better life for myself, and my children. It will also set a huge example for my children. You never want your children to experience your downfalls. People want the best for their children. I believe my kids will be more inclined to go to college if I were to graduate and earn my degree. They have seen the jobs I’ve had in the past, the trials, tribulations, financial hardships, stress, the many times we’ve had to move, and they can compare it to how stable we can live once I’ve earned a successful living because of Higher Education.
I would like to study Medical Specialties, and then follow my dream to be a nurse. I want to help and care for people, and to give back to society. My short term goal is to earn my RN in nursing. My long term goal is to give back in teaching or supervisory nursing.
My profession in nursing would make my mother and immediate family so proud of me. Not one person in my immediate family went to college. I would love to make new history, and set a new trend within my family.
With a degree, I would be more knowledgeable and socially accepted. I haven’t always chosen the right friends. Luckily, I haven’t been in any trouble. I believe a degree in nursing will give me more self-confidence and

    I chose nursing as my profession because of my mother and other factors. My mother was an influence because early this year she was in the hospital for two weeks and during that period I only saw the doctor thrice. The nurses where the ones doing everything, so I felt they were the ones who nursed her back to health. The other deciding factors were: variety of places for jobs whether in the public, private, or community setting; the opportunity to learn new things since no day is ever the same; the opportunity to work with other health professionals; nurses will always be needed; nursing offers specialty areas, and the opportunity to be a traveling nursing.…

    There are several long term results to completing a degree in higher education. The biggest result would be how I feel about myself and my accomplishment. There is so much value of having a college education. In this day and age it is very hard for someone to get a job. If you do not finish high school then you could end up with nothing but a job at McDonalds or some type of minimum wage job. I know that once I have finished my Associates Degree I will be able to get into an entry level position. This will afford me to be able to make more than minimum wage and be able to support myself. In order for me to be able to support a family and have and make the money that I want to I will have to go for my bachelors degree.…

    A college education is valuable because it has economic benefits, and it can lead to a better job. According to Andrew Delblanco author of “Three Reasons College Still Matters”, “there is abundant evidence that people with a college degree earn more money over the course of their lives than people without one”.(244) In today’s generation a degree is hard to earn but doing something you love is a plus and will make you financially stable. With the extra income earned, a person could purchase more things and not worry about bills but will also be able to support their family easily. In addition Charles Huckabee, author of “the chronicle of Higher Education” informs us that “the income of a bachelor’s degree is $50,360 compared with a median of $29,423 with people only with a high school diploma.” (1)In the current position of our economy, making more money would be more beneficial to us further down the road. This will as well help your family struggles be over with and overcome financial troubles. Not only will this help you financially, but it will also give you a better position in the workforce where there is a lot of competition. A four year degree will help you get a job in an office, a hospital, or…

    Because we have struggled so long without that education, once I get the education and our life improves they will know it takes more of an education than a high school education to make life easier. I do not want my kids to spend twenty plus years struggling like we have. I want them to know that life does not have to be such a struggle just to pay the bills or buy food. I want my children to have an easier life than we did. I want them to enjoy life and the job they have. If you get an education in a field that interests you, going to work will not be such a dreaded experience. The benefits I will gain from my degree will show them that they too can have those same benefits by simply getting a degree in a field that interests…

    One of the most important reasons why it is important to complete college and received a degree is because in todays society it is a mandate. There used to be a time where having a high school diploma or even a GED could get you by in life. Now, as times have advanced, most employers for a decent job won't hire you unless you have an associates degree or higher. Just take a second to think about what the job requirements will be in years to come. It’s shocking to know that in just a few years to have a decent job you will need to have a bachelors or masters degree.…
