Deal Breakers

Potential Deal Breakers

Many people in today's society go thru several hardships throughout their college careers. Everyone wants to graduate and earn that prolonged degree, but under certain circumstances, many fail and some are not able to pursue their goals. Issues that one may face when trying to earn in degree are: they can't get through school financially, transportation is sometimes also an issue and possibly family issues. All these issues may be difficult but usually can be dealt with.

When money becomes an issue, it interferes with one’s educational career drastically. Many students live by themselves or with roommates and have lots of expenses to pay such as rent, insurance, bills etc. Without a degree, these students aren't making enough money to fulfill both the three expense costs and college tuition fees. However, there are alternatives such as student loans and financial aid. If a student is willing to manage their classes and school work around there work schedule, they have the opportunity to still obtain a degree and advance in their career and life.

Having a reliable transportation to and from school is huge. When someone has reliable transportation, getting to class on time or even somewhere to study becomes less of an issue. You don't have to avoid school just because you feel as if you don't have transportation: you have options! Public transportation is always available for those in need. Yes, you may have to adjust you school schedule accordingly but the benefit school provides you is worth it. Also, you can always see if a nearby friend or relative is okay with taking you to school with them. This could be a huge plus if you have similar class schedules. Transportation is key, because if you never make it to class, you can’t expect a degree.

Family issues are a big deal in many people’s lives. They can get fairly intense and prevent you from focusing on the things you may have to do. If you are in a family situation where in the evening time someone is always arguing, you can always leave elsewhere to study and make sure you get your work done. Libraries are one of the best places to study and get work done because they are very quiet and safe places. You also meet together with a friend at Starbucks to help you work out anything you have trouble with. Family situations can get tough and ruin your career and goals, but you have to be tough and find ways to achieve.
