Life Happens. Are You Going To Be Ready for It?
Hi, Ramsey Scheller. So great to be on here. Thank you so much.

So I have $260,000 in federal student loan debt.

Well, I have a Bachelor of Science in Chemical Engineering, and I have a Master's in Engineering Management.

So that's the catch. I was working in the field and once 2021 hit, I had my daughter in the absence of her father, he passed away. So I kind of had to step back from the field for a little while and focus on my motherhood, but I'm ready now to come back. And I'm back in chaos in the economy that I just feel like is not working for engineering anymore. Oh, bull crap.

No, for a mother, a single mother, balancing that together.

You need to go make some money. Right.

Well, this is the thing. I am trying to figure out... I've been interviewing and... It's like I'll get close to a yes, but as soon as it's, oh, we may need you to stay in, we may need you to be on call. And as an engineer, that's kind of like the livelihood before my motherhood kicked in, being on call and being available, which I've always been able to.

But now that you're a mom, a single mom at that, you have to not be available at those times. You have to take care of the child.
