I know it has been awhile since I posted anything on here, but I was preoccupied with a lot of things.
I've just moved into my own place again. I found this rather cheap 1 bedroom appartment that was about a 5 minute drive from where I work at now. They were still doing some repair work when I started moving in last week. I think they're pretty much done now. The only thing left to do is to put numbers on the doors. A couple of times last week, I accidentally walked in to someone else's appartment. Good thing no one was home at the time! :P
I'm starting to feel I'm going nowhere in accounting, and am actually thinking of going back to school in the fall. I'm still undecided whether I'm going to try for being a truck driver or a translator.
I've already spoken about the truck driving option on here. For sure, it's the cheaper way to go, and there seems to be an ever increasing demand for them everywhere. But would anyone want to hire me at my age? *shrugs*
Translator would be more expensive, and would take longer, as it requires me going back to University, or a trade school, on a part time, or semi full time basis. I've already spoken to the University where I did my 1st Bachelor's degree, and they spoke about an accelerated study program that would have me complete my studies in 2 years. Perhaps less, if I can get credits from previous course I took. But other than maths, languages was one of my better subjects in school. Job prospects, though, are not as huge as truck driver. The only place I can think of that would need translators would be with the Canadian and Provincial gov'ts.
Also, they mostly long haul truck drivers around here, and it's a hard life to lead. You're on the road almost contantly, far away from home, most often. *sighs* I need to do something, because I feel I'm going nowhere in accounting.
