Struggling to stand by your New Year's resolution?
DATE On January 21, 2019

Struggling to stand by your New Year's resolution? If you are serious about completing a new career program this year, you could make that goal feel more manageable by breaking it down into smaller, shorter steps. The following tips could help as you start your journey toward a new profession:
 
1. Think about why you want to succeed: Write down the names of all the sick relatives and friends who you could help if you had medical knowledge. Make a picture board of houses you would buy for your family if you had a higher salary. Whatever your reason for changing careers, keep this with you so you do not lose sight of the goal.
 
2. Start small: If you eventually want to earn an associate degree, perhaps you should set your sights on a diploma program first. This could give you a chance to see if your chosen career is a great fit and provide a quicker stepping stone into the field.
 
3. Meet with financial aid: Concentrating on your academics could be easier if you have already made a financial plan. Our staff could guide you in how to pay for school and show you aid options if you qualify. Start by getting together your W-2's and calling for an appointment with our admissions team.
 
4. Network: Make friends within your program so you can support one another in achieving your goals. Better yet, share your plans with those close to you so that even outside of school, you will find encouragement. You might even inspire a friend to join you in class.
 
5. Mark everything on a calendar: A ten-month program may feel long right now, so take everything one day at a time. Jot down any upcoming appointments, test dates, and class times so you can tackle the program step by step.
