My mother always told me that "excuses are the weapons employed by lazy people" whenever I tried to come up with an excuse not to do something I had no business ignoring.
If you are thinking that you have the perfect excuse not to earn a college degree, well slow your roll because you have just ran out of excuses! Here are 11 reasons why you just ran out of excuses for not earning a college degree online:
1. I am too old to go to college - this is the silliest excuse I have ever heard! you are NEVER too old to learn anything, If some 99 year man in Japan can go back to college, so can you!
2. No one in my family has ever gone to college - be the first one in your family to attend college and be proud that you have the honor of breaking that norm.
3. I have a job! - News flash, you can earn a college degree online and you don't have to quit your job.
4. I can't study in the house because I have kids - two words "create boundaries!" tell your kids "when mummy/daddy is studying please be quite". Unless of course you do not know how to get your own kids to listen to you.
5. I am not a fast learner - with online college degree programs you can study at your own pace
6. Degrees are expensive to get - there are many online colleges that offer financial aid.
7. I have not-so-great grades - There is a college that is right for you! But how would you know if you fail to apply?
8. I don't know what the process of applying college entails -You are definitely not alone in this. Simply go through the catalogs or talk to people who are already studying to earn their college degree online.
9. College may actually be too difficult for me - if you choose a course of study that you are interested in, and work hard, trust me, college will be a breeze.
10. I can't ignore my responsibilities, I have a family! - Who asked you to?! With online college degree programs, you can live up to your family responsibilities and study at your own pace.
11. I am not computer or internet savvy - Knowing the basics is enough, you can ask a friend to teach you some of the things that you really don't have clue about.
