My Best Financial Decision was to Invest in Myself Via Education
When I graduated from high school, my future opened to many possibilities via a college degree, I just had to decide which one I wanted. I had saved my money through high school years working as a babysitter, at the Woodland Park Zoo and McDonalds. So I started taking general university requirements while working and commuting from my parent's home.
The first crisis I encountered was my forty-hour a week work schedule interfered with school because I would get off work sometimes as late as four a.m. in the morning then have to turn around and drive an hour to the University of Washington for classes at eight a.m. I managed to negotiate three days of closing on the weekend instead of midweek but my exhaustion level was high and then I would come home to study and find too much noise.
