I decided over the past few weeks that I want to go back to school. I dont really like formal settings (college I tried out for a year, and i HATED high school dont even get me started) But I always got good grades. I just hated going(if that makes sense). Anyways, I have worked on off as an optometric technician for about ten yrs. It never paid well which is why i supplement with dancing. I was looking up some information over the past few weeks on certifications(legit ones) for ophthalamic technicians(more advanced than what I do now). But I know ALOT of the material and meet alot of the criteria to apply for the certification. And theyre are 3 levels of certification and even at the lowest level the job pays pretty well. I looked at a variety of sites on the Pay scale not just one web site.
I also considered just applying for jobs without the certification but it seems to be highly recommended or required for most of the job postings ive seen.
Anyways I feel good cause I am 28 and I have been so blah lately despite my awesome boob job a few weeks ago! I just feel like im in a rut. I know i cant dance forever and I dont wanna depend on a guy for my financial dependence. Im not even engaged yet so i dont wanna rely on that.
Have alot of you ladies gone back to school later in life? I know 28 isnt old but I would of liked to have had my finances more in order by now but I have some credit card debt and living situation kinda sucks so i just wanna start moving in the right direction. Plus i think studying and achieving goals will help improve self esteem which has dwindled.
And I obsess alot of my boyfriend who is full time work and night college and lack of time we have together bums me out. But i know hes doing it to further himself so I cant exactly be mad. But it got me to thinking I should start furthering myself for financial stability at some point in my life.
