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....
