Have you ever thought about the twists and turns your life makes? Lately, I have been reflecting more on this, I believe it is because I am getting close to a milestone birthday and my youngest is going to college. In the years I attended college I had so many big plans to make enormous differences in our social service system through my career as a social worker. After twenty five years I fear I have become part of the system and now I count the years and months to retirement.

My oldest son is following in his father's footsteps and has joined the armed forces. My youngest son wants to get a degree in business. Most of the past year he has been preparing for business school admission. Neither my husband nor I have any background in business so we have not been capable to help him. My brother-in-law has offered to help our son with the business school admission since he has been very successful in the insurance business. This is quite a competitive area so we think that it is one of those cases that who you know can have a great impact on getting in.

Within one hundred miles from our home there are several ...
... colleges and universities. Two of them are recognized for their school of business. Our son believes it is really important to have his degree from one of the top ranked schools in such a competitive field. He was given this information from his guidance counselor and my brother-in-law agrees. The business school admission is a difficult procedure which I don't completely comprehend. Until he completes his general education classes, my son will not be in the business school. The grades he gets in his general education classes along with recommendations from professors will help him get into the business school.

A priority is given to those students that receive their general education at the same university. So even though the cost of tuition for the general education classes is higher at this school than the university closest to us, he is convinced that he has to go there. I am in agreement that he has to get his entire education from one school since I have heard many stories about credits not transferring from one university to another. To help him pay for the cost of his education, my husband and I are just going to have to put off our retirement for a couple more years. Perhaps if he well succeeds he will help us in our retirement.
