Although earning a college degree does offer a number of monetary benefits, there is also a number of other, non-monetary benefits. Namely, one of such perks is networking. Most colleges embrace diversity. Thus, when you find yourself in such a diverse environment, you inevitably start learning how to network with all types of people and make strong connections. As a result, you acquire one of the most valuable life skills.

The opportunity cost is calculated based on both the time-related and monetary costs of attending college. That is, to calculate this figure, one must consider the financial expenses (e.g., tuition, accommodation, books, transportation, clothing, etc.), then consider the time one spends on attending a college and missing out on other opportunities, and then compare the received number against the backdrop of the highest valued alternative of going to college.

Knowing how to set such goals is crucial for your future success, both in life and career.

You shouldn’t be considering anything that requires 100% dedication and commitment on your side. This may include full-time jobs that follow standard office hours and jobs that imply dealing with a large area of responsibility. Don’t forget that studying at college will most likely take almost all of your free time, which is why opting for jobs like that you risk failing both at college and work.

- Affordability of fees
- Available majors and programs
- On-campus amenities and facilities
- Career services
- Available student activities
Though these may not be all factors that should be taken into consideration, they are by far some of the most critical ones. And, finally, one factor that should always be at the core is how you are feeling.

Author Bio:
Chantele Sedgwick grew up playing the harp and singing. Little did anyone know, she always had stories floating around in her head. After she had her second baby, she finally realized she should probably write them down. Pursuing publication was something she only dreamed about, but now her dream is coming true.
The discovery of a first love, first kisses, and the many emotions teens go through, pushed Chantele to find her niche in writing teen fiction. Some of her stories share a few of her own experiences, but most of them are just fantasies she wished happened to her as a teen. She’s a sucker for a great love story and always enjoys a happy ending. She tends to have a thing for the “bad boys” in books, unless they’re total jerks. Then she’ll root for the good guy.
When she’s not writing, Chantele can be found spending time with her husband and four beautiful kids, or driving her sisters crazy with random story ideas.

Six Doctors in Five Days = One crazy week
Day One – My three-year-old son Hunter had been up all night complaining of stomach pain. About ever five minutes he would screem “ouch, ouch, ouch”. Not knowing what was going on, and hating that he didn’t seem to be getting any better, I took him into Urgent Care. I love the doctors at the clinic we go! The doctor looked him over and he had a blood draw. We couldn’t get a urine sample from him so we left the clinic for lunch hoping that the little man would go. After dropping off my oldest with her father, I took Hunter back to the clinic. He still had a clean diaper. The next step was an x-ray and ultra sound. The ultra sound should that his bladder was completely full. To give him some relief they did a catheter and emptied his bladder. But he was still having the screaming pain. The doctor came in and talked to me and we decided to do an emema. (I know, poor little guy!) It didn’t work. We went home hoping that he would have a diaper and he would feel better.
Day Two – After another bad night of pain, we went back to the doctor we saw the day before to let her know nothing had happened. She suggested we go to the ER. We went to Ogden Regional Hospital and checked in. First thing the doctor tells us is that Hunter doesn’t seem to have any blockage like we had thought yesterday. They pulled in the ultra sound equipment and his bladder was again very full. They did another catheter to empty him. Then Hunter had another x-ray to check his bowels. Nothing there that was concerning. After several hours of waiting while the doctor called several other doctors for second opinions, we were sent home with a referral to Primary Children’s Hospital. We weren’t coming home alone though. It was hard to get into Primary Children’s and they didn’t want Hunter to be uncomfortable with a full bladder, so they put in a catheter that would stay in until our appointment with the specialist.
Day Three – Urology at Primary Children’s wanted an ultra sound before Hunter’s appointment. We went to Davis Hospital and they sent the images off to Primary Children’s. Needless to say this was our slow day.
Day Four- Urology at Primary Children’s was wonderful. Before the appointment we were thinking, “Well, at least he’ll get his catheter out.” My husband and I were both trying to prepare for the worst of news. (Really, how do you prepare for that though?) His doctor was great. He took us in and showed us the ultra sounds explaining that there are no tumors or blocking of Hunter’s urinary track. They took out his catheter and told us that the bladder cannot rupture. We were told to go home and he will pee eventually. After all the appointments this week turns out Hunter was just holding everything in.
Day Five - My five-year-old Summer wakes up crying. She says her ear hurts. We go to her pediatrician were we are told she indeed has an ear infection. With some medication and rest she should be on the mend. Now it is time for my annual physical that I have had scheduled for weeks. Most everything with me is normal. I do have a scheduled ultra sound for next week to look at an odd bump in my back and also to look at my thyroid which is a bit swollen.
And that was our week of doctor appointments. I really hope we aren’t starting a trend for 2014. I am so thankful to have such wonderful doctors though!
I hope you are all well!
See you next time,
Angela
