I have been trying to get back to school for a while now, and it has finally been put in the budget at Goodwill for me to do so. With them paying 75%, what could be better?? So, I did my research and decided what I really want to do is become a psychologist. This is something that fits into what I enjoy about my current job, and I have gotten really excited about it. That is, until today...I spoke to an admissions rep at the school I am hoping to get into and find out that I don't have enough actuall CLASSES in psychology. Ok, never mind the fact that for the past 4 years I have been dealing every day all day with people who have sever and persistant mental illness. Never mind that I write behavior plans based on diagnosis all the time. Who cares, right?? So somebody with only an educational background can walk right in and sit down in a classroom, but somebody with some educationa and A LOT of hands on experience isn't qualified! UGH!!!!!!!!!! I thought I was finally going to have my chance to do what I want to do, but no, of course not, why would I? I work over 40 hours a week to be good at my job, and it seems that no matter how hard I swim something is grabbing at me holding me back.
I am sure that when I calm down I will understand more clearly how to get over this hurdle, such as taking some classes before applying to get my "education." However, at this point in time, I just want to be pissed off!
