Today is the last day of school for me! It's been a LONG LONG LONG time in the coming. Most sane individuals would have simply finished college long ago or dropped out but not me. I knew when I took a manager job 5 years ago I would be in for the long haul. In parody of an old song, "I did it one class at a time, And it cost me a lot of dimes...." But after my finals today I will be done! Graduation is Saturday.
I will have a swell degree in Environmental Water and Soil Science, emphasis in the soils aspect. Unfortunately, I don't plan on doing anything with it. To take a job with just that bachelors degree would be a nice step down in pay. A masters would help but I don't want to go there. All my life I have struggled with math, which is sad because I really like it. It just doesn't click (I still count on my fingers) but hey, I made it through calculus and physics!
Now I need to decide what to do with the rest of my life. I'm seriously considering becoming an electrician (yeah baby, more school and a step down in pay... for a little bit) or just staying in retail management.
At the very least, I'm going to sign up for a cake decorating class at Hobby Lobby just as soon as I can. Cupcakes anyone?
