What to do?
Last weekend I went to a graduation party for a friend getting his MS in Software Engineering. This weekend, we are attending another MS graduation party. Next year, my maid of honor is getting her MS. The B is actually registering for EMT training from what I hear. I feel very left behind.
True, I'm currently enrolled in a Spanish class. I should probably go ahead and try to pass that. But it's not really a class. It's all online and at home. And it's not directly toward a degree. When I researched Linguistics, I was waved off from UT because of the lack of computational and cog-sci department focus.
Even if I were to go back, what would I do? I took a practice GRE and got almost the exact same score as my old SAT. So, I haven't learned anything new, but I haven't forgotten too much either. Linguistics would mean a physical move to a "better" school. My second choice, the software engineering, seems to cost $34k over two years and have no financial aid.
Skimming through the ACC offerings, there was nothing that jumped out and dragged me in. The EMT thing would be fun, if only because my parents would explode with pride if I was a rocket scientist AND a "doctor." Can you imagine? But what do I want to do? I don't know.
