This is what I mean. Deciding to go to school was so much easier than deciding what to do with it. FFFFFFUUUUUUUU.

That's why the paralegal route isn't the last stop. It will be used as a stepping stone to fund more ambitious goals. It will also get me into a good networking environment for these ambitious goals. I am also attracted by it's projected growth and stability. At this point in my life I am weighing stability much more than starting pay.
I really do "want" to do the nursing route. The prospects seem to be the best of any field. Growth is amazing and stability along with the chance of taking it to higher levels and making good monies. I just don't want to find myself getting into the middle of that goal and learning that I just can't get over some of the things that go with it. This field really is at a balance on the scale for me.

There are so many different types of RN's. Whatever you specialize in determines what you will come across on a day to day basis.

Ya, radiography looked like a good route to consider, besides what I have mentioned already, but then I hear of so many going to that field which makes me worry about it being flooded by the time I get out.

Once you add a mortgage into the mix along with a car note or two you really start to feel it. It all really depends on your situation but if you want to live a normal life with a family, house, kid or two and a couple decent cars 50k on both sides is about what it takes go get by and still have some savings.

i was joking. but it was just a 50k lump sum.

No, I jumped off the baller lifestyle some time ago.
Which brings me to my next bit of advice. Spend your resources doing rather than buying. 20 years from now you will not spend very much time remembering what a nice couch you had. However, you will never regret saving money for a 3 week tour of Europe.

fa shizzle. traveling is the shit. I hope I get to travel some this year.

I need a vacation - jeezy

Well... I went to Indiana State for 3 years, IUPUI for a year, and Ivy Tech for 3 years.
For the last 1.5 years I've been retaking classes to try and get A's in them to get into the nursing program here. Indiana State wasn't nearly as competitive.

A month ago I basically went to my adviser and told her that I was tired of being in school and tired of wasting a shitload of money on retaking classes that I can't manage to get above a C/B in. She said I could graduate in May with an Associate of Science in General Studies. Right now that's what the plan is. I only have to take 2 classes this semester and I'm done with that.

nice. then what?

That's the biggest part of all -- try to select a woman who values adventure over possessions.

interesting concept

Even if she isnt pretty?

Flooded is an understatement. Your two choice are in the right direction for job security though. People getting sick/hurt and lawsuits aren't going anywhere anytime soon.

Yes that is why they are basically my 2 biggest considerations right now. Something tells me I need to bite the bullet and do nursing. For one the schooling is cheaper than my long term ambitious goal of the other route. I may end up pouring a lot of money into school for the goal only to end up marginally ahead in salary.

Whew. Looks like I'm not the only one worried about/looking for a job.
I'm getting ready to apply for a job as a Refinery Inspector for Exxon Mobil. I'll have the education for it once I get my degree in March, and they are looking for one in the Long Beach area. If that doesn't work.. which I'm pessimistic about anyways.. I've decided that I'm going to try and set up a meeting with an adviser at Indiana State to see if they will let me back into their nursing program. Moving was foolish, and I can't get into the nursing program where I'm at now.

Maybe this, unless opportunity knocks out of nowhere. The only thing about this plan is.. I hate science. I don't know which direction my life is going. Perhaps someone else should drive for awhile

Today is so kick ***. To find out that SethPhillips had another fail just brings a smile to my face. I love seeing fail.

Speaking of absense, Ice hasn't been around lately either. Maybe he was SethPhillips?

Exactly.

Goob needs to add that to our smilie list.

One of my main concerns is my student loan payments are going to be high. Got a year and a half left at the least going to start paying the interest on it monthly to lighten the blow when I graduate.

I don't know if this makes me shallow, but I find it next to impossible to enjoy a woman's company if she isn't attractive.

Well.. it seems like half of CT doesn't know what the future holds for them either. What the hell, go ahead.
