OK - I know how whiny I am about to sound but I need to vent. I am so stressed out at work. I am tired of doing something I have to do instead of something that I want to do.
A few years ago, I gave up on my dreams of going to law school because of financial issues that my ex and I were having (I don't blame him btw - it was my choice and the right one at the time). I keep going back to it. I even took the LSAT - the entrance exam of Law Schools. I didn't do that badly. Now I am struggling again with the idea of applying - it is way to late for this fall but I could try early for the following year!
I have other options, though! If I did go to law school, I want to do a joint program for an MSW (Social Work). My parents have been foster parents for years and working with the kids, helping them to develop has always been wonderful!
I could take a lot less time to do my MSW than Law School and still have a chance to work while I go since I don't have to travel over an hour each way to go! I guess, in a way, I am weighing my pros and cons.
I just know that I will burn out soon where I am. I have to decide if I want to go work for the family business and maybe bartend for extra cash or stay where I am, get yelled at everyday, and feel like I am being set up for failure by the bosses!
Mike is very supportive and will help me in whatever I choose to do!
Thanks for getting through all of my ramblings if you did! I'll keep thinking about it for a while!
