What would you go back to school for???

Oh, goodness, I've been going back and forth through SO many options. I've narrowed it down to getting a PharmD, becoming a registered dietitian, or (not through a university, but it's an option still) massotherapy. My head has been spinning for months because I just can't decide.

Hmmm well how much school do you want to go back through? Do you enjoy putting food and diets together? Are you in tune with your senses? Does money matter?

The cool thing about it is that you have options, someone once told me to just throw all my abitions in a hat, pick one and do it

See, those are all questions I've been asking myself. The school part of the PharmD is what gets me... I mean, I like school, but the course schedule does not go with my current work schedule, and I don't know that I'm ready to give up a good (well, decent... pay sucks, benefits are good, people are nice, but it is not fulfilling at all) job for it at this point in my life. As for the RD, I do enjoy putting food and diets together... I really enjoy learning about food and diets, and I don't consider myself to know much about it now, but that's what school is for, right? I like putting my diet together and the number/macro aspect a LOT (I have a degree in Math & CS, so naturally numbers are my friend. lol). Plus, I think this would be a very fulfilling job! The pay isn't too great, but it's better than what I'm making now... and salaries are increasing pretty quickly w/ this field... oh, and it seems like there's plenty of room for growth with this. Massage therapy... honestly, this just sounds like fun. I do realize that it isn't a full-time job per say, but the idea of only working 20-30 hours a week sounds nice. The thing I don't like about it is the wear and tear it puts on your body, and it isn't a job you can do forever because of this.

Okay, wow, I'm rambling. School doesn't bother me, it's the idea of having to give up my current job to go... money is important, but not TOO important. As long as I can live comfortably and take a couple trips a year, I'm a happy camper. As for my senses... I think I'm aware of them... much more so than, say, your average person or people I know in "real life". lol

Okay, I'll shut up now.

Good luck with whatever one you decide on hun

Thank you!
Really? I didn't know that! How are you liking it so far?

Hey girl that's what a cheat day is for enjoy it

Oh, goodness, I've been going back and forth through SO many options. I've narrowed it down to getting a PharmD, becoming a registered dietitian, or (not through a university, but it's an option still) massotherapy. My head has been spinning for months because I just can't decide.

I cannot tell you how many people Ive met on EF that were on a similar path. I am on the same page with job unfulfilment.. my best advice to those who CAN make a change is to do it. Im here at least another 2.5 years unless I will the lottery or the kabash is put on health insurance & preexisting conditions. You WILL find your way. Nothing but + vibes your way will2.



saw this & thought of you, ONLY B/C YOUR AVI!!!

 

[Will2BLean]

CK, you sneaky little thing... I didn't even see your post. I'm scared shitless of doing that. That's how I ended up with my Math & CS degree... I just went with something easy (for me, anyways).

Thanks so much, Buns! I am eager to see what the ag department has to say about becoming an RD... and about the chunky dunk thing.. it's pretty accurate after my fat fest holiday season.
