Cause and Effect Paper There will always be pros and cons to decisions that you make in life. The paper is going to cover a cause and effect that I feel is important to my-self and I want to explain why. The decision or choice whether to go to school or not was a very import choice I made. There was better salary, better career, continue my education. The downs to my decision are less time with family, more debt, less income while in school. Those are topics I will cover in my cause and effect paper. I’m going to start with the pros. For me going back to school after being off for 5 years was a huge step. I haven’t studied anything for a long time and was not sure how I would do. It made me very nervous to think that if I didn’t do well, I would have to retake the class or possibly just give up on college. Once I realized that I could do well in college, it was all just the matter of registering and being accepted. Getting a better salary was something that was very important to me. I would be able to provide a better home for my son. I would be able to take vacations and afford the things that were important to me and important to provide for my son. I would be able to have a newer vehicle, or SUV, or a truck that I have always wanted. I would have a steady income and wouldn’t feel as if I’m living pay check to pay check. One major plus for me was that I would have a career in a fast paced, largely growing field. The medical field is growing and in demand for jobs. To have a full-time career, doing something that I have a lot of passion for would mean a lot to me. I would be able to enjoy my holidays with my family and kids. I would be able to work in a setting that I feel will help me succeed at what I love doing. Continuing my education is a huge factor in my life. I want to be able to look back and tell my kids that “I graduated college.” To

    As a single mother of four children, it is my responsibility to be a positive role model for them. One of my roles is instilling how vital a college education is towards their future, which was problematic since I lacked one myself. Therefore, because children learn through example, making the decision to acquire a college degree was a necessary choice. The challenge began when it was time to decide what field of study to target, what type of school to attend, and where I envisioned myself in the future.…

    Already coming from a family with a background in the health professions field, I pretty much had a view of what it would be like in the medical field. Going back to my senior year, I had alot of medical experiences that I enjoyed. I enrolled in a special medical program, Aurora LIGHTS, in my highschool in which I shadowed many physicians, physician assistants, dental assistants, midwives and so on. It was challenging and overwhelming at the same time. I got to help people everyday.…

    It gives you extra money and who doesn't love that. You can pay off your debt so when you graduate you have nothing to pay back when you're ready to start your career. You will also have a list of reference at your disposal, for example I will have over a dozen nurses that would give me an outstanding reference. You will build up job experience, so you know what to do in the career field of your choice. You will also have a jump on people that are fresh out of school with no exp. This experience will put you ahead of your peers and the people you are competing with for the job. Jobs after college will be easier to get, for example if I wanted to get a job at HRMC they would most likely hire me before others because of my experience and because I’ve worked there and know how things are run and from working their they would pay for or help pay for my school work. In the end working while in college is one of the best things you could do for your future. I can’t emphasize that enough. Even if it’s only a few days out of the month or on weekends. Don’t be lazy and embrace your future and take…
