What Should I Do When I Grow Up?

Most of you know the recent events of my life. But to quickly recap for those who are new:

  1. I have a bachelor's degree in communications.

  2. I worked for a major construction equipment company in public affairs and made a looot of money.

  3. Many of the people I worked with/worked for at said major construction equipment company were complete assholes who found intense pleasure in making the lives of people like me miserable.

  4. I was miserable.

  5. I got laid off.

  6. I'm broke but 300 million times happier now and realize my last four grueling years in the corporate world was my personal lesson in the old saying "money isn't everything!"

I played the game: I got the degree, got a good job, bought a house, a new car...did everything I was "supposed" to do. However, it took away the person I was. I went into Cat a healthy, happy confident mom. I quickly became a grumpy, depressed blob who yelled at her kid too much.

I see this furlough as my second chance in life. I've been considering many options and think it's time I asked everyone for your advice. What should I do now? I'm absolutely open to going back to school but don't want to go longer than 2 years.

As a start, Zane had several suggestions:

  1. Ninja

  2. Air Force Pilot (he obviously took into consideration my love of flying...)

  3. Cargo Boat Captain

  4. Chicken (I can do a pretty good chicken cluck, actually)

Oh yeah...anything involving stripping or being topless is off the table. I do have a college degree for Christ's sake!!!

So whaddya think?????

I think you should be a flying, ninja chicken. Who is sometimes topless, but only if the role really requires it. ;)

Have you thought about going back to school? I there something that you've ever really, really wanted to do?

Oops, you did say you were open to going back to school. I got lost on the ninja line. How about nursing? You love the ER stuff. Or case manager or something like that?
