I Have Been Thinking A Lot…

…About going back to school.

Is this really the time? I think it is. I have been putting it off for so long. So much is going on in the world. The market is in a downward spiral, things are getting more competitive… I don’t want to be caught out there when things pick up.

I feel there is going to be a renaissance of sorts when the economy bounces back… or at least I hope for a period of deeper appreciation for what we have and the opportunities before us. I just feel I should get a jump on it either way.

More immediately, this would be me turning a negative into a positive. While my credit is shot and I am paying it back, it’s difficult for me to get an apartment. I can put whatever extra funds I can muster towards getting a degree. I can move when my personal economic conditions are more acceptable.

Benefits: What exactly are the benefits? Well as far as I can tell, a sense of accomplishment, a degree would make me more marketable and my son will see me doing even more positive things. I am trying to teach him to keep reaching.

As of now, I am still unsure what I want to go back for. I don’t even know what school or schools I want to attend. I am going to walk into an admissions office soon. Has to be long before the holiday. I want to get the ball rolling for Winter / Spring term.

I am praying for guidance. Pray for me, please. Wish me luck!

You can do it bruh, and you got your son to keep you on your toes! I don't know you all that much but you seem like a good hearted dude so I got faith that you can do it! I wish you much luck and patience.

Maybe you should consider something in the visual arts field. I think you really have an eye for photography. You could do well in advertisement, etc. I will pray for you to receive revelation and confirmation on what it is that you should do...
