1. In April of 2007, I made the decision to go back to college to get a degree. It was necessary for me to conduct research to answer the questions "What degree/major should I complete?" This led to other questions such as, "What classes do I need to take?"
2. While the situation primarily concerned me, I also considered others as being affected by the outcome. Among those people were my girlfriend, who was also a living partner. Also concerned was Frank, my financial backer. I conducted the majority of the research on my own, with input from these two people.
3. In exploring possible answers to my questions, I used several resources. I spoke with Frank, a PhD and college professor. I consulted the community college advisors. I spoke with and considered input from my parents. I used the college internet sites to see what was involved with the majors I was considering.
4. After conducting my research, my conclusion was that I should pursue a degree in Biochemistry. I came to this conclusion because it satisfied the criteria I established through researching my original question. That criteria was 1. A field that is personally interesting to me 2. A field that has good potential to bring financial success 3. a field that has a diverse set of opportunities within it
5. In this case, I was satisfied that I had taken the time necessary to examine all angles and aspects of the issue.

I think most of us have been there and it is not necessarily the most fun research, but it feels really good once we figure it out =)
