Is not easliy amused.
Apparently it can buy me some further edjukashon to make the rest of my life a bit better.
About 3 weeks ago I was having a conversation with a friend at work who's in his early 40's. He asked me why I was working at my current job. He said no one my age should be doing the work that I do because there's so many opportunities in life to make something of myself. After having that conversation with him...I got pissed off. The strange part was, I was pissed at myself. Pissed that I threw the last 6 years of my life away doing nothing with myself. I decided I would do something about it and try to go to school next year.
Well, I did get the ball in motion to see what would be needed for me to go to school for something. The interests I had in high school don't really interest me anymore, so I decided I would take a course on something that seemed interesting, paid better than whatever I've made in the past 6 years, and was in high demand than most other careers.
Fast forward to today...I'm now a student at McCann School of Business. I'm taking a course for Medical Laboratory Technician. I start evening classes on Monday immediately after work, 5 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The level of nervousness that I'm experiencing about it is insane. I know I skipped through high school without really retaining some of the important stuff...and I don't know how I'll do with this. It's a lot of money to take a chance on...but I do need to make something of myself.
