Back to School Someday

I decided awhile ago that I really want to go back to school. I want a degree & a career. I never knew what I wanted to do & I didn't figure this out until I was 25 years old. I want a Bachelor's Degree in Interior Design. I think I'm finally starting to figure out when I want to go back to school.

I was just hired at Vee Quiva casino as a dual rate dealer & I'm thrilled. While I love dealing, I don't want to do it for the next 30 years. I won't mind doing it for 5 years since I do enjoy the job & the pay is wonderful but I want a real career & I don't consider dealing cards or even being a pit manager a real career. I am super excited about my new job & it will definitely help me save money to go back to school.

I think I have decided that I want to work for at least a year & towards the end of the 1 year mark, I'll start looking into different colleges & programs & start the process of getting enrolled in school. At 1st I thought I wanted to do an interior design program at Sheffield School but after my sister, Sarah looked into the program, she highly suggested that I not waste my time & money on that program. This program takes about 6 months & at the end I would only be certified. She believes that I should spend the extra time & money & get a real degree. It will take me about 3 years at least. The hardest part is that it will probably take longer than that because by the time I start classes, I'll be working, Garyn will be working plus we have Rya & Hayden & we won't put them in daycare so I'll probably only be able to take 1 or 2 classes at a time. Due to the fact that I won't have alot of time, I wanted to do an online program & get my degree that way but Sarah suggested not to get my degree online. Once I get closer to enrolling in school, we'll be able to figure out when I can take classes.

I'm very excited to go back to school & while it won't be for awhile I'm really happy that I finally figured out what I want to do & that when I graduate, I'll have a real career & a wonderful way to help support our family. I have no idea what colleges I will look at but there are a few around & right now The Art Institute of Phoenix is my top choice but who knows what I'll decide next year!
