March 27: Un(der)employment

My current position is grant funded and set to expire around the end of the year, which prompted me to consider new career paths. So far I am leaning toward delivering things, driving trucks or working in a grocery store.

Taking into consideration that I am four credits away from my second master's degree and have been in school 27 out of the 34 years of my life some people may not understand this or see it as a waste of an education. I am of the opinion that learning is good in and of itself. I do not use my education as a means to an end.

My paths have crossed with so many people who have allowed their careers to define themselves. I will never be one of those people.
