I've been pondering more and more about going back to school lately. The computer business has just gotten sucky and boring lately. I still enjoy helping people and fixing their computers, but the PCs themselves are just getting more and more annoying. I've found I'm not interested enough in these stupid contraptions to care enough to put the time into learning more about how they run and keep up with technology and viruses and blah blah blah. Anyways, I really just don't care much for it anymore and don't and never really did have the motivation to learn as much as I need to, to excel in the field.
So, this leads us to the current pondering and the two primary problems with said pondering. (well, there's actually 3, but once A and B are solved, I have faith I can solve the money problem when I get to that point)
Sooooo, problem 1 (or A, or Ichi, or alpha, or even Uno if you like) . . . . What do I want to go to school for? I've been thinking of getting into massage lately, but I think I'd like to find something I might be able to fall back on. The economy's good right now, which means lots of people with extra money and lets face it, a massage isn't exactly a requirement for living. So, if people don't have a lot of spare cash, I would be one of the first to lose business. Combining it with the Reiki would help a bit, but I'd likely still be low on the totem pole.
Problem 2 (B, Ni, Beta, duce) . . . . I've been to college . . . briefly. I have 30-something credits at Columbia College before I decided to leave and get certified in Netware, something which became obsolete the moment I had the certification, thus leaving me with nearly a year and a very large load of cash going to complete and utter waste. Tania on the other hand, has never been to college or taking any schooling or certifications. It is her turn to go to school and do what she wants to do. I know she will do excellent and has been looking forward to it for ages and it's about bloody time she has her chance. With a degree and how hard she works, I could easily see her making 6 figures if she wanted to. I know she won't be, but instead she'll be doing what she enjoys. I'm just trying to say I know she'll be totally awesome at whatever she does and we'll both be happy no matter what she's making. However, we can't make enough money with both of us working part time to live on, not to mention the extra cost of the expected child. So my plans to return to school have to wait for hers so I'll be stuck in a job that I'm becoming more frustrated with day by day (partly due to poor pay, more due to frustrating talks with india, oh, and lets not forget the fact that it's killed 3.5 cars so far).
So, perhaps I know what to ask for on Hecate's moon . . . Then again, there's always the risk of getting dropped into the blender, though things always seem to come out for the better in the end. Oh well, on with life and a rather large pile of work.
