Ah! The ultimate sad question in my life. I wish I knew what I wanted to do. My world has been in an awkward transition period for quite some time now.
I’ve been financially independent since I graduated high school due to my very, very dysfunctional family. This has made going to a college a really big challenge. I went to school in Oregon until I realized I was ridiculous in thinking I could pay for it. I’m currently working a full time job to pay my rent/bills, pay back a years worth of out of state tuition, and try to save to go back to some sort of school.
It’s been really hard for me to watch my friends go through school while I work a full time job. The “real world” experience has been eye opening and definitely helped me mature, but I’m just not happy.
I love learning. I love being in school. And now I find myself in this awkward cycle of never quite being able to get ahead. I don’t even have time to do community college classes since I’m a full time shift supervisor.
All I know is that I don’t want to be in retail management for the rest of my life.
