In todays society there are many reasons that a person should have an education or a degree in some profession. The high cost of living is one of the reasons. You can't make it on your own with children to have a good life. The cost of gas, rent, and food are only rising as time goes on. This is why I have chos to go to school to recieve a degree in the medical profession.
First of all when you are a single mother you need to have all means necessary to be able to live. Rent in most places is at least five hundred dollars for a one bedroom apartment. Then you have to think about the other utilities. You have electric, and/or gas, telephone, water, and trash. Which could add up very fast. No fast food job will allow you to live off the income it provides.
Next you have the other necessary aspects to live, like, groceries, gas for transportation, or you might need bus fair. There are tolietries and hygien necessities. Many of us also have an allowance we spend on clothes. Diapers are a very big fund that comes out of your pocket. With all these in mind you can already get a picture of what it takes to live.
Last but not least you have to htink of your future and the future of your children. What kind of life do you want to give to them? Teaching your children to work for their money, and to have an education to be able to live a sucessful life is very important to me. The only way I see how to make that is for me to recieve the highest education to work to provide for them.
Bringing all these terms together I hope I have informed you to the fullest about how important for me to have an education is. Fast food, retail, and low paying jobs can only get yoiu so far in life. If you have the will there is a way.
