Check Out The Resources Available To You
Now that you have evaluated your preference for your next career move, 
and you have thought about your best learning style, it is time to catalog 
the resources you have to help you reach your goal.

First, do you have family and friends who will support you as you seek higher education? Will they understand when you are not around as often to perform your normal activities? Support from your people is essential to success.

Second, what financial resources can you call your own? This is to include cash on hand, savings, borrowing ability, scholarships, grants, gifts and company benefits. I was able to attend college due to the US Military GI Bill educational benefits, a company benefit which paid tuition, and a merit scholarship.

Third, what about a place to live, transportation, clothing, a computer, and a quiet place to study. All of these aspects will be essential to be successful in completing your educational plan.

Forth, what about your attitude? Consider your outlook on going to school. Will you be positive about the task? Only positive will work for most people. There will be many activities which will challenge even a positive person.

The career you select, if you are like most people, will have to fit what resources you have access to for this activity. Say you want to be a brain surgeon but do not have money for college and med school, what to do? If you are so talented that this is an actual possibility for you, them you have received scholarships to pay for it. Somehow the resources we have available to us are just slightly lacking based on what we need. So it is up to us to find the difference. The challenge is there. Now work to find that energy needed to work toward your career goal.
