A Career-Changer’s Guide to Going Back to School

Are you fed up with the monotonous humdrum of the 9-5? Is your dream career only a degree or course away? Perhaps you need a surge of new energy, knowledge and motivational passion? If you want a change of direction and going back to school to do it, you’ll have to take a few factors into consideration.

Going Back to School

This article will outline brief pointers on how to start your new occupational journey.

Finance First

If you’ve already gone through the process, you know it’s a pricey one which requires a certain prudence and monetary preparation. Most graduates have both federal and private student loans and if you are currently making substantial monthly repayments it’s worth finding out about student loan consolidation. With this method, you can combine into one, low monthly repayment which is not only financially wise, it will also take some strain off your second educational endeavor. You will also have the opportunity to explore forgiveness programs. Once you’ve sorted out and secured loans, you can work out a solid budget plan for how much your career change will cost you and have a solid idea of the logistics.

Reflect on Your Motivations

Deciding to take on a new career is incredibly bold and risky yet, it can be a highly gratifying and extremely exciting experience. Before you set out looking at courses and locations, it is crucial to get to the bottom of what has got you zealous for a different zest in your working life. Is it that you want to add another zero to your salary? Or do you want to do something more meaningful? Maybe you have always had an inquisitive nature with several interests that require certain qualifications in order for you to pursue them? Whatever it may be, have it as your ultimate goal so that when you’re having to get back into the saddle of lectures, projects, assignments and finals you have that clear light at the end of the tunnel incentive to see you through.

Enjoy Yourself

This final point is a simple one. Anyone can tell you how daunting it is to change career paths and question you for returning to school. However, there is no reason at all why you shouldn’t if it’s the best way to achieve your dreams. Why not give it a second shot? There is no set amount of times we can take on education and with such incredible schools, resources and opportunities out there it’s no wonder we want to absorb as much possible to strive for the best for ourselves and family. Once you know what you want to do and how you’re going to do it, add in some steely determination, a lot of hard work but also enjoyment. You should make the most out of your quest for fulfilment and take the new challenges in your stride.

We all deserve to love what we do and so if going back to school will allow you to do this then be happy and confident in your choices to see that it will lead to that glittering future filled with opportunity and prosperity.

First thing’s first, remove all distractions bef First thing’s first, remove all distractions before driving your car. I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
