What were some family-related problems you had to deal with when focusing on your career?
I'm currently deciding whether i should go to the least expensive school (commuting) or the place that would make me the happiest, living on campus. I find it hard telling my family that being away from them, being on my own, being independent 2 hours away, will help me focus on school and my studies much better than being at home in all of the chaos. I know they rely on me a lot for certain things and i'm happy to help them with anything, but just this once I want to be selfish and focus on me without any judgment on why I feel the this way. After all I, and only I, will be the one that bears the weight of my consequences, if any, of the amount of debt I will be in. Even though my college options aren't expensive compared to other schools, I will have to bear a large amount of debt to be able to go to a four year school and get a Bachelor's degree. Anyway, what would you suggest I do with this kind of problem?
