Last night I was talking with my girls about how I was talking with my Mom and she seemed to be discouraging me from "finding my passion" and instead finding a job that pays, preferably with a pension.
As I was talking my older daughter Racheal reminded me that if I really wanted to go to school I would find a way. So I thought, she is absolutely right. I started looking at the University web site, and found that with the degree option, I could do an "empasis in applied ethics" which jumped out at me. I am pretty convinced I want to work in some capacity in a not for profit enviroment. If I could land one now that paid decent I would probably take it, but I don't want to go back to 12 months a year 60 hours a week. Contract or seasonal would be best, but unless I'm in sales/service or clerical I don't qualify to do much, but the wheels were spinning and I started thinking I could do a Bachelour of Arts with an minor in Business and emphasis in applied ethics. It just means you have to have a certain amount of specific courses, philosophy courses over the time you get your degree. So I made an appointment to go in and talk with an academic advisor next week to discuss my part time options and if what I am thinking is possible. Also to look at bursarys that are available. You never know if you don't ask right? Who knows, maybe I'll find my dream job in the mean time! Maybe I can combine my kinda dream job with school? Who knows!
