When I was in college somebody told me that studying is a sacrifice. Indeed he was right.  With no one to support my study I learned to earn my keep. I worked during the day and study at night. Time management was crucial for me. Sometimes we need to do overtime at work so I need to be absent at my classes. The following day or week I would have to make up with my absences that absences. There are also times when I have to be at school on extracurricular activities then I have to be absent at work if I can’t get a paid leave. 

I had to live up with this routine for five years until I got my degree. When I graduated I asked myself what I should do next. The reason I was studying was to land on a decent job, but I was already gainfully employed long time ago. Months passed and work becomes boring. After two years I resigned and ventured into business and freelancing.   I consider getting a degree as a privilege. Other deems it as a luxury. As for me it was a challenge.
