• ...school...

  I vowed to look for a new job.  I did.  But I didn't really end up getting a new one.  Sadly, I have failed at getting a new job.  But in all honesty, I simply never gave myself the greatest opportunity to look.  If I wasn't busy with working, I'd be busy with life stuff like fixing my car, buying groceries and all that jazz.  

  I've decided to go back to school.  Rather, I had applied to go fulltime to go back to school and volunteer (if possible) to get the job I want in the future.  At the time, I thought it was worth while.  It's for a program where all the skills for future jobs that I want are readily available.  At least I won't have to "lie" on my resume to get that job.  At the time, my parents said they'd support me since it's obvious that I have no where to go if I stay in retail.  I say at the time because my mother doesn't seem so enthused by my news that I got accepted to the program.  The bf has never really supported me with the idea of going back to school.  He believes I'll get the jobs I want even though I honestly don't have much (if at all) training in that field.  He says they'll train me.  

  I have to start doing more things that I'm uncomfortable with.  I have to go meet more people.  My network is small.  Well, it's not really THAT small.  It's just that I haven't met all the right people to find me that job I'm looking for.  

  But I'm going back to school for something I want to do. Since it's obviously something I want to do, maybe it's not too late to apply for volunteer positions for what I want to do.  I finally have a goal in mind.

  However, now the biggest question is whether I go back to school or just volunteer for the same amount of time.....
