Why do people Take SO LONG to get started on the path of earning a college degree using DegreeForum?
1. Bad Experience in High School or College
They didn't get good grades, hated going to school, or ran into high DFW courses. As a result, they think they aren't good enough for college or have trouble in a particular subject such as math or writing. They ARE GOOD ENOUGH. This will be a GREAT EXPERIENCE. Have some faith in the process.
2. The Paradox of Choice
Which college to pick, which degree to choose, which alt credits to select. Sometimes it's better to make the wrong choice as long as you move forward. All the schools recommended are good, they are regionally accredited, they will do the job of helping to advance your career.
3. They Don't Think They Have Enough Time
They have a full-time job, family obligations, or other things that take up their time. Even spending 5 hours a week is enough time to make substantial progress. Usually, 20hrs is the max time needed.
Does anyone have their stories to share? What was the one thing that pushed you over the edge to get started?
