I am so excited. I have been offered a scholarship for one free class online through Kaplan University. I loved college, but that was almost 30 years ago.
Everyone has been telling me that if I want to get a job after 20 years, I need to reeducate myself. But that is easier said then done. It costs anywhere from $30,000 and $60,000 for an average Bachelors of Science program. Where do I get that kind of money? The schools all say just take out student loans. But that is a scary proposition. My son is dealing with that right now. He will have to start paying back his loans in 4 months. What happens if I don't get a job in six months?
I am going to enjoy this class and then decide if I want to continue. I will pray that God has a job in mind for me. It would be great to get a job with a company who would reimburse the tuition. I need to take this one step at a time and trust that all will happen by God's plan and in His time.
Pray for me please. It has been a long time since I was in school. I told Kaplan that I could be trusted to finish what I start. I gave my kids a hard time all the years they have been in school so I hope I practice what I preached.
Can "old dogs" learn new things? I'll let you know in about a month!
