I have not attended school since 1991, when I graduated.   When I was on maternity leave with Drama Queen I took a word processing class at the local night school but that was also ten years ago and easy as pie.  But now that I’ve been forced to re-evaluate my career I’ve decided to head in a new direction. 

I don’t want to spend my days taking phone orders from customers the way I did for five years.   Nor do I want to be in sales any longer, as I had been for the last four years.   I need a desk job, M-F, 8-5 because I have to get my kids dropped off at school each morning.    So I’m heading to school to become certified in the H.R. field.   Lord help me.  lol

There is a 6-8 week certification course at a local college I’m going to be calling on today, plus University of Phoenix has an on-line class I can look into as well.   Going into H.R. is perfect for me because every day is different and not the same hum-drum crap I had the last few years of my Inside Sales position.  Plus the starting pay is right where I need to be, even entry level. 

So wish me luck and tell me I’m not making a mistake going back to school.  It was either this or Lottery millionaire but I can’t seem to find that application on monster.com.
