Went to college for psychology. Worked as a domestic violence counselor and also in addictions. I realized that the biggest problem people have is not wanting to help themselves. I have little patience for this.

Now I'm going for a Nursing degree. Which I should have done in the first place since I wanted to be in medicine my whole life. Ten years ago I realized I'd probably never be a doctor so I felt it wasn't worth it. What a mistake, I wish I would have just done the Nursing program first.

I need to find a new career since I no longer want to work in the field in which I got my B.S.

I went to collage and did well, but never finsihed my BS, hated dorm/roomate life and spent to much time hiking in the wilderness and mountains around the campus. But I ended up at a warehouse where I load/unload trucks for a living, i am OSHA certified to drive a forklift and do daily, and even after only being their 1.6 years I make sometimes the higest check out of the nearly 30 others who perform my similar job daily.

Right now I'm doing distance education, not really towards anything in particular. My courses are Canadian Politics & Government, Post-Confederation Canadian History, and Sociology.

College... taking a beast of a course... 3 A-levels and it's a single course... music...

Damn it's hard... not much time for bad form on that one... need to stay upright, stay strong... it's hard.

well I am trained in Health Education, and that is what my degree is, but since my children need me more I am a "child care provider" which means I run an at-home-daycare which means I am just a glorified babysitter :wink:

I also teach a preschool class at church every Wednesday.

Maybe when the kids are older I will get my teaching certificate, haven't decided yet, or finish up a Nursing degree.

I'm a physiotherapist (in USA we're known as Physical Therapists) working 20 hours per week.

I run a Pulmonary Rehabilitation program for people with chronic lung diseases.

I also do lots of work in helping people to quit smoking - very rewarding!

I love my job!

i finally decided that once my lease is up im going to live out of a backpack and make a "illegal settlement" in the mountains up here where i live. i cant be arsed to rent a room in someones house because i can hardly live with my mom, i can imagine living with a complete stranger would be a nitemare so no. one good thing about living this way is i wont have to waste all of my money on rent, wich is extremely high in flagstaff. home is where you live its not necissarly 4 walls and a roof. if i had ocd i probably wouldnt live this way because i'd be worried about being dirty and it would drive me insane. thankfully i only have aspergers and some other mental deals. i plan on spending the extraaa ca$h on all those sportscards i cant afford and rocks.
