I can see it! I can smell it! I can taste it and the taste is sweet. The saying is true; the sweet taste of success. I can't believe it. After many trials and tribulations, I am about to graduate with my BA in Business Administration. This of course means what? It means that I have the knowledge? I wish it garunteed me a job. A job is what I need more then anything, not a degree. I have yet to see, if a degree will improve my chances. I can't wait to see that. I will be recording each and every offer, interview, resume sent, almost like a study. I want to know if what they say is true; "having a degree will get you in a better job!" I won't have the experience. I think experience is what gets people jobs more then a degree. I have to start somewhere though and if it is entry level then that is what it is. I don't expect to be the CEO of a large corporation over night. NOPE!
So is all about to change? Is my life going to be re-arranged? It's not like I am getting married or moving out of state, but graduating with a degree is exciting. OMW, I started this online schooling in 2004 with my AA . For 7 years, I have taught myself online. I have read textbooks, taken tests, studied, completed papers and written essays. I stayed up nights, scheduled my life to just focus on what lies ahead, I have read, read, read, and read. Now what? What do I do now? I kid you not, I walk around this house with nothing to do and it drives me crazy. I feel the need to open up a book that is focused on Business, and there isn't one. I guess it is time to read the good books that friends have lent me. Still there still feels like an emptiness inside me. It drives me crazy.
It is time once again to re-write the resume. This time when asked my education level, I can happily put a check in Bachelors. My resume will indicate that I have one. Just writing that put a huge smile on my face. The only thing left for me to do is take the sememster exam which I am waiting on the school to send me. After that what happens? Oh the excitement!
If I can afford it and find a high paying job, then I would like to go on with my Masters, but being unemployed, just doesn't look like I am going to do that. I don't want a student loan that I have to have lurking over my shoulder for the rest of my life. Not having debt is a wonderful feeling, I have yet to feel. I do know alittle of that feeling but not like I would like to. It is still there.
Any suggestions on where to start?
