How on earth do I decide what I want to be when I grow up?
Ok so it hits me today that I am 25 years old and still have no real major plan in life. I have a job that pays $10 an hour. I can afford most of my bills on my own but I would have to never have the "extras" in life. Like new cloths, nights out, and going out to eat. I am comfortable here because I basically work my butt off when I want to or just be lazy when I want too. I tend to work my butt off more than being lazy but where else can I find a job that I can research the internet all day for personal things if I need to, or bring my kid to work if I need to, or update my livejournal once a week, or come in late and not totally get wrote up for it. But with bigger jobs come better money and more school training. So here is my listing of choices for life plans:
1. Go back to school for my LPN-
Positives: Quick to find a high paying job. Get done with training in a year. Can find jobs that involve traveling. Get to work with new faces all the time.
Negatives: Training is in Toledo Ohio about an hour drive each day for me. School is five days a week which means can not work to much while in school. I would really have to count on Terry to get through this program financially and mentally. He gets a C- on his supportiveness as of lately. What kind of man doesn't rub the mother of his childs back when she is dying in pain.
2. Go and get my certificate in nursing assistance:
Positives: I can get it done in about two weeks. I can get a job real quick. I can find out if I even like working in the hospital environment. I can always go back to school to advance.
Negatives: Jobs only start out paying about $3 more an hour than what I make not. I would not be a life time job I would still have to find ways for advancement to move up the chain.
3. Culinary School-
Positives: I love to eat and cook. This job would be so much fun to learn.
Negative: I hear the hours are crazy, the pay is not much, and I do not know the first thing about finding a job in this field.
I need to make a move fast. I need to get this all figured out because I am getting restless and sick of living the same life everyday. I am ready for a change of pace in some way in my life. There is no spark, no fire, no passion. I can not live like this forever.
