    every time i think about school i just hate the idea of it

    im just finished my high school year and it was a struggle to get thru but now im sitting here at im faced with wat to do next i already know what course i want but i know it means that its going to be another 5 years of school that i must go through .

    I wish i could just make easy money but the fact still is to support my self and possibly a wife and kids i will need to be working at a job that pays well and without a education not many jobs offer high paying income without a education

    I need some advice from someone who has been through this and maybe give me your thoughts on what to do thnks

    Hello: 5 days ago

    I want to go back to school—kind of.

    I would like to:
    *. Get a laptop for school work.
    *. Upgrade my Math (112A & 112B).
    *. Work on reading aloud. Reading skills overall.
    *. Work on my writing skills.
    *. Upgrade my English.
    *. Upgrade my Biology.
    *. Upgrade my History.
    *. etc.

    At the local community college they have online courses. (Hopefully that means I can do them at home.) They are for Math, Chemistry and Physics.

    And in Prince Edward Island there is an adult education program for improving reading, writing and math.

    “Programs are individualized, allowing learners to progress at their own pace and to learn in a supportive and non-threatening environment.”

    That’s exactly what I’m looking for. I really want to take part in it. I hope I can get there after I complete my Math. ♥


    Some career ideas from people:
    *. Graphic Art and Design.
    *. Photography.
    *. Business.
    *. Secretarial work.
    *. Journalism.
    *. Nursing.

    I’ll have to spend a crap-load of money. And spend years and years and years in school if I want to complete everything at my own pace. But I’ll get [something!]...hopefully.

    I'm Back In School or What Have I Gotten Myself In To? 6 days ago

    Hey, I’m back in school. I am definitely happy and excited but now I actually have to the work. Paralegal Studies is no joke. It’s a year long program that I know will totally change and improve my life. I’m bound for law school and this is a step in that direction. I love this life and say do it if you’re called to do it. Here’s my seesmic video on the same topic http://video.seesmic.com/threads/1YGOyngiHe

    One tip I can give you all is to get started on the work as soon as possible. Start off in a mode of action, not procrastination as these patterns are hard to break or begin the further one gets in their process.

    Exciting stuff... 2 weeks ago

    FAFSA is all filled out..
    Feels weird not having to provide my parents information anymore.

    SO I took a little adventure down to the college for a meeting with my Entry & Admissions Adviser, got a feel for what my fall quarter will look like..

    *Environmental Economics
    *Political Science
    *Cultural Communication

    I may have to quit my job.

    We talked about internships related to sustainability that could go towards my major, which has me bouncy that I can go back to school and still travel.

    Disabilities Resources managed to see me while I was there. Some times it’s fun catching people off guard. No one really knows what to do with a tiny, legally blind, tattooed, pierced, existentialist, activist, gypsy kid.

    School Starts Next Week 2 weeks ago

    Finally, school starts next week. I am so excited. I had to postpone my enrollment for a few quarters because I didn’t have the money and refuse to take out anymore loans. Now, I have a job in my field that pays a lot better. This time next year I’ll be done with the program and have greatly increased my income. I know that my training and certification will aide me with my career and business as these areas of my life continue to evolve. I finally feel like I’m doing exactly what I want and am supposed to do in my professional life. Some people wait their whole lives just to do what they love. I say go for it, even if you’re off to a rocky start.
