(no subject)
Pedro II has officially crossed into the land of Ipod heaven, or maybe even Ipod hell. The moral judgement of technology is really a bit of a gray area for me. He was cold and wouldn't turn on when I found him. It makes me sad. No, not really. Pisses me off is more like it. That ipod cost damn near $300, and it was only a little over a year old. Now I have nothing to listen to on my way to class.
Thursday morning is move-in day. Which means that Thursday night calls for club time in Nashville. Oh the joys of being over 18.
So, I need some advice and comments here!
I'm going to school to be an accountant, but I'm not really happy with that decision. It's just my whole "stability" plan. I wouldn't hate it, and it would be a good enough job to support my family. But, after working at the growing tree for a very small amount of time, I've come to realize that I really do love kids (even when they do crazy things like scream at the vacuum, or take off all of their clothes at unnecessary times). Teaching isn't really something I want as my options though. For one, I've seen too many teachers become bitter farther into their career. I don't want to be like that. Secondly, teachers in TN get paid crap (which is probably why most of them are bitter).
Tech does offer a pre-med program, so I could study to be a pediatrician. Though, I'm not guaranteed to get into med school any time soon or even at all. This means that I could turn into a professional college student. That wouldn't be so bad if I planned on being by myself for the rest of my life. Being a pediatrician means spending at least 11 years in school (that's without failing anything, or changing your major). I really don't want my husband and I to have to struggle with having a family and putting me through school at the same time. Plus if I take this route, I know that seeing people die would be a part of my job that I would have to accept. No doubt that my heart would be completely in a job that involves taking care of children, but I don't think I could emotionally handle the death aspect. What do you guys think? Any pros or cons you can help me out with here? I'm even crying out to anonymous posters who just happen to stumble across my lj. Different prospectives are welcome.
Or, I could just completely skip going to school altogether and aspire to my childhood dreams (singer, dancer, actress, or circus performer). Can anyone get me in good with Cirque?
