Here I sit in my little cave in Washington, DC, completely unable to make a decision and pull the trigger on my future. For months I kept thinking and saying, "Just get back to DC, just move home and it will all come together." Here I am, home, and absolutely nothing has come together except my ass and this couch!!!
I've sent out a few resumes for jobs for which I am neither qualified nor really want to work. Certainly, nothing I've found constitutes a career that I would have an interest in launching. Mostly, I've applied to jobs in the federal government with a few private sector things sprinkled in for flavor.
The other option I have kept marinating in my mind is nursing. From my investigative efforts, I've determined that I would have to attend University of the District of Columbia (UDC) for at least two years to get an Associates Degree and then take the nursing exam to become an RN. That is, of course, assuming I could pass the courses and handle the math -- never my strong suit. I know that I can have Craig tutor me, and that is a comfort, but I still have my doubts that I can handle the type of schooling needed. I have read absolutely nothing about anyone with a degree in English Literature, history or French being recession proof.
Nursing and other healthcare jobs, however, always needed.
But can I do it?
