Returning to School                                                             Page 1

                                                                                                                                            

Learning new skills and knowledge is something that is required every day in my job. Currently, I am not eligible for promotions because I don’t have the necessary college degree. Also, when I try to compete with others for jobs that don’t require a college degree, the other applicants have some type of formal education on their résumés that outweighs my background. I want this college degree so I can compete with others for the jobs for which I am qualified. Today’s employment market is filled with talented people who have various degrees, speak multiple languages, and have varying experience levels. Without a degree, it will become more difficult as I get older to find a position I not only enjoy but that also provides for my family.

 

 

  1. MY EDUCATIONAL GOALS

 

At the end of my degree program, I hope that I gain skills in three areas:  critical thinking, writing, and collaboration. Of these three areas, I think my critical thinking skills need the most attention. I need to work on the following areas:

 

  1. Improve my ability to look at other options
  2. Improve my ability to ask open-ended questions
  3. Improve my ability to do research
