It can be very difficult to receive a college degree while living at home and not have to work or even having a spouse that can support you enough so you do not have to work and can concentrate on studying and receiving your degree. Try to work, have 2 small kids and have to drive more than an hour in each direction to get to work. Well this is what I do on a daily basis, I work 45 miles south of the city and it takes me more than an hour in each direction to get to work and I have a 5 year old daughter and a 9 month old son. I work 5 days a week and go to school twice a week and when I am not in school or working, I am taking care of my children, studying, doing house work and doing homework. I decided last year while I was pregnant with my son to go back to school in order to get a college degree because I am a travel agent and this job will not be around soon because of the internet and I have no other experience in order to get a decent paying job. It is very hard to juggle everything because when I am home, my children wants all of my attention so I usually end up doing my studying and homework after 9pm in the evening after they are sleeping so I have no interruptions. I am determined to receive my college degree no matter how long it takes me to complete it.
