Secondly, I feel that with my degree in hand I can help insure that when I open my own business it will be successful. I think many businesses fail because the owners are not equipped with the full knowledge to run a business and before they know it, their business is closed. I feel the prestige that comes with having a business degree and obtaining the knowledge of running a successful business, the…
Education is very important in human life. Decision making to return to school to earn a degree implies that there are alternative choices to be considered. Education is an ongoing project for those who are willing to learn, gain and update their knowledge. For me, it meant leaving a steady full-time job (in BENIN). It meant facing the uncertainty of returning to my studies after a multi-year interruption.…
Everyone has to work for a living. The choice is yours whether or not you enjoy it. I am fortunate that I enjoy my career field; I just don’t love the monetary benefits. This, among many other reasons, is why I decided to go back to school. Obtaining a job that pays better, showing my kids how important having an education is, and challenging myself to make a better life for my family are the reasons why I went back to school.…
Every person who begins a college career has a multitude of reasons for doing so. Some people do it because they are expected to get a college degree. Others do it for a better life than they could have without a college degree. For me it is neither of these reasons. I am a former college drop-out who believes I can do better than I did. Therefore, my reasons for going back to college are somewhat different than the average person starting college for the first time. I have something to prove to myself. I want to prove that I can stay commited to college this time and get a degree.…
Possible employee motivations for seeking this degree are that the student will have the basics of business down and can acquire a job in their chosen field and have the basics down which allows them to go right to work, and learn the way things are done at the place of employment.

Salary is also always a great motivational tool for the employee.…
I decided to return to school for personal reasons. Returning to school is something that I have thought of doing for a very long time. I guess you could just say that I have been very lazy and procrastinated for a long time. I tried to go to college right out of high school but it did not work out. I thought it was all fun and games and ended up flunking out. I was headed down the wrong path and working in a dead end job. I decided it was time to do something with my life. I wanted to get out of my dead end job. I am now ready to take this important step in my life. I knew it would help me to grow as a person. Most of all I want to better me as a person. That is my motivation for…

Why I think people should go back to school is to have a career not just a job with no advancement, which is one of the main reasons for many people are reenrolling in school. I have always had a dream for myself to have a career not just a minimum wage job, but it will not happen unless I decide to do something about it and move forward. Additionally, No matter where you are in your life you can always further your education. Finally, the most important reason to me, why I should go back to school is to show my kids that education is very important and it can be done, no matter what stage in life you are at. Even though, going back to school after you have kids will be difficult because you might not feel like you always have the time. If you want to further you education you will make a schedule that works for you and your life, it may take more than one try but if you stick to your goals anything is possible.…
After careful thought and consideration, I made the desire to return to school into a realistic goal. I had finally come to the conclusion, that it was time to take control of my circumstances, rather than continue to let my circumstances control me. For the first time in twenty years, I have a window of opportunity to fit a degree program into my daily schedule. Returning to school had always been a desire of mine, but in the past, I did not think I had the time or the money to pursue a degree. I was a single mother, I was working all of the time, my children were very young, and half of my wages went to daycare expenses.…
