I've decided to go back to school in January. For an AAS in Business.
It's caught me a little off guard, but I think I have the head for it, and I certainly have the personality for it--driven, intelligent, attention to details, an insufferable perfectionist who will tell anybody how to do their job better. Little things like that.
This decision came after trying--and failing--to find a job as an administrative assistant. I'm still a little appalled at how strongly a degree makes a difference as to whether someone will reply to your inquiry email. I mean my cover letter smashes, but without the 'necessary' education, I might as well not have applied at all.
Recently, I've been wondering about what i'm actually going to do once I obtain this wondrous business degree. I mean, duh, I can be an accountant or a secretary, or work in HR, but those jobs are strictly to pay the bill.
What about happiness? Is there a way for me to combine my love of organisation with something that feeds my Soul?
The great question of our generation. It seems to be the Exception, not the Rule. I have found very few in my age cohort who have a job that pays their bills AND gives them some satisfaction other than fiscal.
Sometimes I wish I was 30 and could just have it all sorted out. And then I thought the other day, "Gods what if I don't have it figured out by then??!"
Best to keep my head in the present and pretend like I know that whay I'm planning to do will lead to some type of future stability.
