So, I've been asked by both of my bosses and have received countless other questions about the fact that I should consider going back to school. The problem with me . . . .I absolutely and utterly hate school. I love learning and doing things on my own time, but the thought of going to school, having homework and tests absolutely scares me to death. My biggest fear though, by far, is math. There is not words to describe how dumb I am when it comes to math or science. I just don't get it, no matter how hard I study or pray. My brain is just not wired for it. I haven't taken math since I was a junior in high school, so I would have to start at the very beginning. As you can tell by my ramblings, its intimidating.
With that said, the good part is that I can take classes at the BC for free since I work here and hopefully get my prerequisites out of the way. I've also been thinking about getting my Bachelor's online. I am so busy most of the time, I don't think I would have the time to go and sit in a classroom. I found a program at BYU-Idaho that is Marriage and Family Studies and it has as little math and science as I could find and it could interest me. I just haven't though too hard about it because I'm nervous about it.
What do you think I should do? Do you have suggestions? Any words of wisdom would be wonderful.

Go for it! Wish I had that opportunity.
Well, what are the goods that come out of going back to school? Is it a significant enough pay increase? As in significant enough to pay off all the student loans you'll probably have to rack up to get the degree? So if you're happy with your income right now and are happy to stay at that job, I'd say no. But if either of those questions are a no, then it'd probably be a good idea. But it'll be a HUGE commitment... as in no sewing for a couple years.
That's a tough call. I know what you mean about math and science. I took conceptual physics in high school and even that was hard to understand. I only ever completed one semester of college, and I would like to go back some day, but right now is not the time for me. But I think if you have the time, it is always good to move forward and progress in some direction. It's better for you than sitting still. And if its something that interests you now it's easier the sooner you go. The longer you wait the less like you will be to ever have the courage to just do it. You never know what life will bring! Good luck. You'll make the right decision.
If you're really thinking about it. Maybe start out slow and just do a class or two and see how you feel. Just be careful that you don't over do it.
