If you have gone back to school in the last 20 years I commend you for all of the stress that you’ve been under.
It is no laughing matter when it comes to education and degrees these days. It seems like it’s impossible to get any kind of job unless you have attended an expensive four year college and worked your butt off. Even then, every position seems to require years of experience before they will even look at your resume. This is why I have been putting myself back through school again to earn a third degree and embark on the career that I actually wanted. Unfortunately, it is incredibly stressful to manage a work and academic life at once. It’s even worse when you factor in the cost of normal utility bills as they relate to your school schedule at home. Because I need to concentrate on my work all the time I need optimal indoor air quality control conditions to keep my focus. I can’t do a good job on my homework when I have oppressive heat and humidity choking me in my office. I also hate it when it feels too cold so that my fingers and toes start freezing up in the middle of writing a paper. If you’re anything like me, you require several trips to the thermostat throughout the day to keep your indoor air quality at a sufficient level for studying. The next stress is figuring out how to pay for my high energy bills and HVAC wear and tear. It seems like I can never catch a break when it comes to doing this educational journey – and either can my air conditioning system.
