Keep on Pushing on

                Higher education is slipping out of our hands as fast as it is taking our money.  With rising tuition we have bigger class sizes, fewer course options and less full time teachers… Welcome to the real world, where everything does not make sense. It would make sense if the outcome of raised tuition was smaller class sizes and more classes to choose from, but that is not the case. It is discouraging to hear about class availability becoming slimmer and slimmer. An interesting article from Foxbusiness.com discusses the implications of raising tuition in California.

Hereis a link that will help jive some ideas of how to stay motivated to graduate and keep on pushing towards that dream career. The five tips they discuss are good starting points if you’re really feeling down.
