An Ah-Ha Moment

For years now my husband has been telling me I need to figure out what I want to be when I grow up. I have struggled with this in more ways than I can explain. After recently being laid off and my hours being reduced from 40 to 20 I have applied to many jobs. But, the economy is down, I get the attention of employers, but I do not get an offer.

I am currently enrolled in a business college. I am in the beginning of a 2 year associates degree in Medical Assistance. So now for my Ah- Ha Moment....

I have done a bit of research and found that the Paramedic program is very similar to the Medical Assistant program I am completing. It takes about the same study time. What Am I Waiting For???

Ah Ha!! Perhaps this is why people are not calling me back. Maybe, I am not choosing this field, instead, it is choosing me. In my research, I have found that I could sign up with the local Fire and Rescue and in fact they will pay for my EMT program.

Thank you to my brother-in-law and to my sister for backing me up and telling me I am making a good decision. And to Miss Libby... Because Miss Libby Says..... Follow your heart.

This opens soooooooooooo many doors for me and gives me both education and experience that I would not have had until I was later in my studies for my degree.

I finally feel like I have a plan. I am working on figuring out how to get my degree for Paramedic.. I will get there, Oh Yes I Will.
