I gotta go back, back, back to school again.

Here is how my journey starts...about 3 years ago I had a great job.  It paid the bills and I liked the people I worked with.  Then the day after my 35th birthday I found myself with out this great job.  Now this job was just that a job... it was not where I planned on spending the next 30 years but like I said it paid the bills.  I was sad at losing this job but looked forward to what I could do.

Well this is where I find out that there is not much.  For the next 3 years, I covered a Mat. leave, worked for a crazy lady, went back to retail and always vowed I would go back to school through the Second Career program.  I was just about to start the process when I got a dream job!  Great hours, great pay, great people!  I was set for life, no reason to change anything and then....

Head office came in a year later to the date of my hire to announce they are moving the office to Hamilton.  I was shocked, sad and pissed off!  I loved my job, loved the people I worked with and what we did.  I was set for the next 30 years!  I found myself again at point A and had no idea what to do.

Then came the 2nd career calling again.  Hello you go to school, work hard and the government helps you.  It was perfect because I quickly found out that everything needs a degree now, something I did not have.  I had lots of college education but nothing completed.  This was my chance!  To finish school and show my daughter that yes you can!  But what program....
