A New Day

It's funny how one day you can be pissed at the world and the next you just feel normal. Yesterday was not a good day but I am determined to make today much better. I talked to Jake last night and guess what, he is going to catch the bus. I spilled my guts out and he explained how getting home late from catching the bus was unfair. In the end he will be catching the bus. I guess that communication stuff works if you give it time. We will see how the next few days go. Our son is going on vacation with his grandmother for a few days so we will see if we can get along that long.

On to something else...

Michael Baisden had a topic on his radio show yesterday about people who go to college and get degrees but never work in a field that has anything to do with it. The other part was people who have degrees that hate their jobs. I did not get to call in so I figured I would give my two cents now.

I HATE MY JOB!!!! I have a degree in finance and my school cost over 20k per year and I am working as an administrative assistant (secretary). I work for three people and support two departments. The closest I get to numbers is organizing the budget every year and making required changes. It is a mindless job and I know that there is better out there. The problem is that I am married have a family and bills and I make good money. All these things deter me from pursing other things. Don't let that be you.

My suggestion to everyone on their way to school is to do what you love. I admire my younger brother because he started school with a major people thought was good for him and ended up realizing that is not what he wanted in life. Instead of settling, for maybe more money, he decided to pursue his dreams and changed his major after two years of school. He had to do more time but will be be much happier in the end.

Try to make your dreams come true. You don't want to live you life thinking "What if?"
