I wish I could say that the title of this post is about the kids, but I must submit that it is me I am talking about.
I have been rather grumpy lately and it is reflecting both at home and work. I have discovered (which of course the first step to repentance.) that I have been behaving like a kid and near arguing with a co-worker. I don't think that I try to, but it seems more like I am trying to work with my brother rather than a co-worker. This of course is not a good thing and I am seeking ways to rectify the situation. I have had to study out what is taking place, trying to look from the outside in. Then search for what actions I might be doing to make the situation come about. This is necessary because we end up working together a lot. I don't hate this person but it would be nice to at least be amiable while we do so. Wish me luck.
Next, I recently received a phone call from School (My school) they want me to start thinking about my bachelor's degree. I have been thinking on this since I figured out that I want to teach family and consumer science (the old home economics.) In discussing my desires, I learned that I may be able to reach a larger audience and make a better income if I use both this business knowledge and a teaching degree in the specific field as a consultant to schools and school districts. This is an awesome opportunity and I am very grateful for the suggestion. This excited me even further.
Now comes the next question... If I want to turn this into a dual purpose idea should I continue to obtain more business skills and qualifications and then seek the education for the specific area or vice versa? If there is anything that I have learned over the years it is that I must have a good grasp on business concepts and practices or failure is inevitable.
Naturally, it would flow smoothly to move straight into a bachelors in business since that has been my main area of study, however, I think if I am going to be able to sell my services to schools and school districts then I will also need to prove my teaching experience.
I need to research this and of course prayerfully study it out.
Whatever takes place, I thank the academic counselor at University of Phoenix for seeing my vision and encouraging me to look further into what I really want to do instead of pushing me straight into their desired path.
Life changing decisions and a lot of learning to go.
