Expanding Horizons
Submitted by My Garden Spot Blog
I don’t have a master’s degree. Sometimes, I think I’d like to have one, not for the possibilities for greater earnings (that’s debatable at this point in my life), but for the opportunity…the challenge…of broadening my knowledge base, and yes, demonstrating my abilities. I guess another way of putting it would be that I would be validating my credentials.
I think I’d like some classes to happen in real life, but I think I’d rather do things on my schedule, and not some set schedule determined by the real life needs of a real life building and staff. That would mean a lot of the schools I would need to look at would involve some form of an online degree course of study.
I’m thinking of taking some business courses, but I don’t think I want that to be my major course of study. Perhaps history, or literature, maybe art? I’m not sure. I’m going to be looking into costs and time and requirements. Then again, with the experience I’m getting into finding, researching and meeting new doctors, perhaps I should take advantage of the things I’ve learned about my own conditions, and ‘Pups, to explore some kind of work in a doctor’s office.
Tutoring is getting a little thin on the ground. Parents are triaging the kids’ needs. If they have two kids, rather than both getting tutoring, they only enroll the one that needs it the most, and limit what they’re studying. While this is normally the slow part of the year, it’s never been this slow.
So, while I think I do have a full quiver of arrows, and a wide range of skills, it might not be a bad idea to explore…additional avenues of possible revenue. That exploration might begin, like my marriage, online.
