This is it.

Today I was sitting at my dead end job at directions in research and I just wanted to leave. I mean, yes, its a job, an easy, decent paying job that I am lucky to have considering how hard it is to even have a job in MI. I was just thinking for the millionth time, what am I doing with my life? Not just now, but where do I expect to get working this job.
I thought about why I am not doing hair. Current reason is that my last job as stylist didn't pay well. And then I thought even if i did get a nice job in a salon, Its hard to have any benefits as a stylist, and once you loose any good looks you may have had your considered washed up. I mean I do enjoy doing hair, but i feel like I was meant to do something a little more rewarding.
As some may know I did go to Grand Valley for 2 years already and I was leaning toward education. Ever since I was little I wanted to be an artist, obviously that plan went no where. But my second choice was writing or education. So I wanted to be a language arts teacher and that's what i was going to school for at Grand Valley for for 2 years. After being out of school for going on almost 3 years I have decided its time to go back. I wouldn't say I have wasted the past 3 years I just really found out what I DON'T want to do, and that is work a dead end job with no hope for my future. I want to go back to school and do what I wanted to do in the first place. I realize this will mean never ending debt for the rest of my life, and that there is NO guarantee that I will get a job as a teacher. BUT whats the worst case scenario? I end up right where I am now.
So I have to talk to my parents about this. And I am almost positive the response wil be something around the lines of "Well your cousin went to school to be a lawyer and now she works at red lobster" and I will say something around the lines of " Well in all honesty I dont see how going back to school is going to be a negative choise" and Im sure my parents will be pissed of and think Im making the wrong decisn. But I am not going to wonder the rest of my life what I could have done.

What do you think?
