Many changes are in the works right now. Like many Americans, the economy has affected the bottom line of our wallets. It has been over a year since I’ve had a full time position, and it seems to me like I’m starting to be pigeon-holed.
I’m going back to Ivy-Tech, for the 5th time, I believe. I plan on starting the spring semester of ’09. For a while it’s going to be general courses. I think my best bet is to get a degree in a technology field, such as CIS, or computer networking – the same degree my father has.
I don’t really want to go back, but it seems like I need to just to obtain real employment around here. The other plus, the FSSA will pay for all expenses through the Vocation Rehabilitation program. So I won’t be out anything but my time.
I’m going to actually bring my business activities down to a lull while in school. I will still provide my memory saving services to individuals who are seeking them. I’m just not going to be working at it like I once did. There is simply not enough time.
Life isn’t that fun anymore, and I don’t have much else to say except for this update.
Well, dear, you have to do what you want. Maybe you can take some online courses this time so you can work at your own pace. I wish you good luck!
Oh my gosh. I hadn’t realized that you’d written a blog post with this title, and I just wrote one tonight with the same title.
I didn’t want to go into too many details in my post, but this economy’s hitting us too. Specifically, my firm had a little ‘downsizing’ activity that affected me. That’s always fun. Luckily, I have a new position, but there’s a lot of adjusting I’m in the process of now, to get used to the new place, which is pretty intense. I’m hoping that I’ll settle in and get comfortable there, but in this economy, I don’t really have a choice but to work pretty hard and hang on to the job like I hang on to my eye teeth….
Also, Paul’s still trying hard, but so far without success, to get a job. One of these days, we keep saying…
Let’s hope that things settle down with the markets soon…
