I think you should wait
I think you should wait for a lot of things. What I am talking about is going to college and deciding on what you want to do for the rest of your life. I just wonder how many people actually change careers half way through their life? When I think about it, probably not many because it is easier to take the easy road, to not think about it and just do what you do. I never did anything in my degree, Corrections and Juvenile Services. I had Katey right before my last semester of college and we decided that we would be a traditional family and I would stay home and raise my own kids. Now, a million years later, I no longer want to do what I am doing. My kids are "grown" and I have a little more time to do what I want. I want to find something that I like to do and makes enough money to support my family - seems that is harder than I thought.
I want to change my future. I want to change my job. Now, the decision is what do I really want to do? What do I have to do to make something happen? There are options out there, but finding the time, energy and money to possibly make any of it happen is an issue.
Do I go back to school and become a nurse? Or do I try to start a business? Or do I help the domestic violence shelter start something that will help them earn money and in the future would help me with our monastery?
I just wish it was easier to see what would be best, what my family would benefit most from. If only I had a magic ball that would give me the answer. What if I make the wrong choice and worse things happen than what we are going through now?
