Unfortunately, many would be students who desire to position themselves for a career change or return to school do not do so because of fear.
The First Step is Admitting It
The following concerns and fears are shared by many working adults in Phoenix. Working adults are concerned about the cost of returning to school, the time commitment involved, and the challenges of attending classes with younger students. Many are also concerned that their employers will be unimpressed with their new career. However, most working adults enrolling in school, end up fitting in well and are more than up to the challenge of returning to school as an adult. They usually enroll with fear and concern, only to later realize that their fear and concerned were unfounded.
I’m Afraid It Will Be Too Expensive
It can be expensive returning to school. The expense alone is enough to cause many working adults to reconsider their decision to return to school. However, when education viewed as an investment, the costs of attending school does not seem as large of a sacrifice. It’s best to have a long term rather than short term perspective. At the Allen School -Phoenix Campus, we are here to provide you support and guidance on the financial aid process. We have a dedicated team for you and your family, so we can assist in completing the financial aid process. Financial aid is for those students who qualify. Before deciding against returning to school based on the cost, consider how earning your certificate or getting advanced training will help you in your new career.
I’m Afraid It Will Take Up Too Much Time
It’s reasonable for adult students to feel overwhelmed with their current responsibilities. As a result, returning to school can be that much more intimidating. Working full-time, raising a family, and fulfilling other responsibilities are enough to occupy already full schedules.
However, it’s possible to make time to return to school–and many adults do it quite successfully. It may require sacrificing time spent enjoying leisurely activities, but it is possible to make the time. If you set a goal and have unwavering commitment to reach it, you can develop the ability to make sacrifices that will allow you to accomplish your educational objectives.
I’m Afraid It Will Take Forever to Complete My Program
The Allen School offers an accelerated learning program. As a result, this program requires less time than would be required if one pursued their education the traditional way. Our fast-track program can be completed in less than a year.
It may seem intimidating and daunting to enroll in school, but this should not be a reason for missing out on the benefits of acquiring more education and a new career. Adults who simply put together a good, workable plan can smoothly make the transition back to school and make the experience a great success. Ready to start a Medical Assistant Program?
