Contemplating a career change . . .

I have extensive work experience in a certain field (have been out of it for 11 yrs) but still very interested in that field. I want to go back to school to get my license, and get a job in that field again.

I just not sure where to find the time or money. Also, if I do this- I would probably end up working weekends and/or evenings, which poses a possible childcare issue.

I have discussed this with DH, and while he is supportive, I honestly don't know where I would get the $$ or time for schooling.

Any thoughts??

Honestly, i feel like if there's something you really want to do or accomplish... you find the time and you figure out the money.

If this is something that you really want to do, I say go for it!

Look into the CUNY schools, tuitions are much cheaper - it's still a great education, and they have a lot of night & weekend classes. As far as the money see if you can take a government loan which you would not have to start paying back until you finish your program.

I wish you the best of luck with whatever decision you make. If you have questions about CUNY feel free to ask me bc I am currently taking classes there.
