Whatever you call something that's between a quarter and mid-life crisis.
So. I have always wanted to be a pastry chef. But my parents insisted I go to college and get a bachelor's degree in... something. And I did (applied sociology) but then I panicked because what the fuck do you do with a degree in that?! Plus, I was super-young when I graduated (20 years old!). So I took a diversionary detour to graduate school in Upstate NY (aka hell) which landed me in a mental hospital (no, really, it did) and so I wound up back at my parents house. With bills piling up, I was forced to take the first job that came along (aka analyst at the evil marketing company conglomerate inc) and then I stayed because money is nice and then I got promoted which meant more money and then life happened and now here I am (ten years later at age 30!), a miserable wreck of a human being.
So, I'm thinking about quitting my job and going to culinary school. Except that it's expensive and I still have tons of bills to pay off and a mortgage. So, perhaps finding a program with evening and weekend classes and staying at work until I graduate and find a new job?
Or maybe just putting a little more effort into finding a new job, period.
