...i feel so lost in life sometimes...
as i scan through my friends' updates, all i read about is school this, and school that...
i know i have a pretty nice certification under my belt, and am done w/ school...
but i still feel like i'm missing the whole 'college experience'... i mean, i went to an adult education school, with a bunch of 25-35 yr-old women, while pregnant might i add... when i got my cert...
there were no campus parties... there wasn't even a campus! just a long, boring drive through construction, every day...
i want to go back... i don't make enough money in what i do... but i can't afford college either... ford WOULD'VE covered it, just like i WOULD have bcn health, dental and vision (top-of-the-line coverage)... but, one of the requirements was that my dad had to have been able to claim me on his taxes, and he couldn't claim me for last year... he should've done it anyway... if i had known, i would've told him to do that, and them just gone w/ that...
but, i don't even know what i want to go for... i'd be starting all over again... i'm thinking about getting my clinical med. asst. cert, b/c i can't really do anything w/ just the clerical one... everyone wants medical billers, transcriptionists and receptionists... but they don't want one unless you have either 5+ yrs experience, or you can also do phlebotomy... so, i might go back and get the other 1/2, making my registered w/ the state of mich... but in that case, i might as well become a nurse... you do the same things, but you get better recognition, and a LOT more $... nurses make about $92,000 a year, if you do it right...
wow, that's terrible... at 20 years old, i don't even know what i want to be in life... there are SO many things, that i can't just settle w/ 1... and all the ones i want take 6+ years...
well, i suppose i have plenty of time to figure it out, seeing how my life is about 1/4 of the way over... but at the same time... life's running out...
...i'll figure it out... hopefully sooner than later............
