Feeling out of sorts.

I'm having a hard time with school right now. No, it's not the work that I'm doing. That in itself is not hard, it's time consuming and while it's not over my head stuff, it does take some thinking and I am learning. No, the hard part is that I just don't like spending so much of my time in school. I think that spring break was a bad thing for me. I was doing some thinking last night. I went back to school because my plan was to apply for the library directors job when my boss retires in a year or so. I didn't need the degree, just 54 credits. I choose Business Management as I was not really interested in becoming a nurse. With the budget cuts, I'm not sure that the library job will be there, and Business Management is not what I really want to do. I am thinking about changing my course to Human Resources. Right now, all the classes I have taken are the same for both HR and BM. Next semester is when they start to have more specialized classes. I was also thinking about taking some summer classes, but right now, with the way I feel about school? Not sure if that's a smart idea. How come I'm 46 years old and I still don't have it figured out? Why?!

    It's hard to know what you want to be when you grow up. I don't think the education is bad at all, but what will you be able to do with it? Will you be sorry in 10 years that you "wasted" time and money at school? Or will you look back and say that was a good thing to do? Only you really know for sure.

    Ask any HR manager and they will tell you it's not so important WHAT the degree is in as it is that you actually HAVE a degree. Give yourself credit, though. I know I couldn't find the discipline to go back to school.

    I think school is like an insurance policy....you have it as backup just in case. Having no schooling is unheard of nowadays. I say take a few weeks to think about it and then decided what you want to do for next semester.

    Can you do a dual emphasis? I did mine in management and accounting. You could do management and HR?? Its the degree in something that shows discipline to future employers. It does get frustrating and I felt like I was going to school forever. Maybe take the summer off but get back to it in the fall. Don't stop now. You are doing AWESOME!!!! Suzy

    I don't know if people ever really have life figured out. Just think about it good and hard and do what you think is best and that's all you can do.
