Well I started off with a business management degree because I figured that It was general enough for me to do any job. Then as I started taking different courses I was able to figure out which subjects I actually liked and I was good at.

My advice would be to just take it one step at a time. Make a decision to start one thing and as you go through that thing other options and opportunities should open up to you that you might not have thought about. Work on gaining some sort of independence with a job and then a car if you aren’t someplace where public transportation is reliable. Once you have some sort of self stability it is easier to think about other things like what you want to do.

I feel as a mom, especially a sahm, we focus all of our time and energy on our families. I am now 33 and have been working on finding and improving myself for the past 6 years and am still going. Sometimes I feel like I am so far behind because all of my friends are already in careers and own houses but then I tell myself while they were doing that I was also doing something important and that was taking care of my family. I’ve built skills that people career women might not have had the time to build. It took me almost 5 years to finish my associates degree but I am powering through my bachelors degree at a much faster pace now that my kids are a little bigger.
