Settling into my loss of place...

So, here I am at my ex-work, getting ready to train one of my ex-co-workers to do the little that is left of my ex-job

I hear you brother. I do Systems managment but havnt done any real hands on for a while and anything I have is old and out of date, feeling like a fossil. IT is such stress too and I don't like that. I have considered seeing a career counselor to get ideas about what else I can do. If I can gather any good info for you I will pass it your way.

I just made a date with a recruiter friend to help me figure out what I should go for next. :) Kinda like a counselor. ;)

I took a career search class at Colorado Free Uni. Included lots of various tests - personality, skill, interests, Myers Briggs, etc, and a one-on-one with the career counselor. Very helpful!

I may have to look into that, was it expensive?

[amazonsun]

It was $100 for a 3-night class. I thought it was worth it.

Ditto what he said (about expensive) but also, how was it helpful? Did you figure out what you want to be when you grow up from it?

$100. It was worth it to me. And yes, I found out a lot about myself. Now I just need to put it into practice. :)
