I'm going back to school!

Yup! I'm 49 yrs "young" and I'm going back to school!! My last position was "eliminated"(long story)....and I have been actively looking for a job since May...I have filled out so many applications, faxed, emailed, snail mailed so many resumes that I think I have applied for the same jobs more than once....I have always wanted to do something in the medical field...so,,,,,on Jan 22 I sign up for a Phlebotomy course...it's only 12 weeks long...there is a big call for medical so hopefully I won't have any trouble finding a job...
I was tired of being so down and depressed over not working...you know the money....not feeling wanted...the whole thing...I gave it up to God....again....and asked for him to guide me in the right direction...I guess this is it! I HOPE! I can't wait! Just wanted to share with all of you...I am finally fine "UP" again!

Way to go Brenda!
I think that's a wonderful plan! You're right that the medical field is a great one to enter. I hope this works out beautifully for you.

Excellent!! It sure sounds like many of us are off to new and different directions this new year that we are now in. I think it's exciting!!

Ok ~ what is Phlebotomy??

High five to you and your new adventure!! I wish you the best.

THANKS EVERYONE!! I CAN'T WAIT!! Phlebotomy is blood drawing...It is something I have been thinking about doing for a few years now....I am tired of looking for work...As I said in my post, I have been looking diligently since May...I have had interviews but the people never get back to me, which I think is SO rude! This is one job that computers will never be able to take over...I love working with people..I have seen many job postings in this field...I just pray to God that they are still around when I finish school! LOL.....I will start the class in March and finish in June....I am very excited about this...just going to the class is going to be exciting!! I will be with people! LOL...I love being with the furbabies but they aren't much on conversation LOL!

Thanks again Girls!

COngratulations, it is always an up to decide something positive! My Brother & his wife and kids own and operate a lab called Inland Drug Screening, here in Calif. They do drug testing and dna and all kinds of bllod, urine and other. There is a big demand for this because of random drug testing and new apps and such. My niece was just on the Tyra Banks show on Tuesday, as the representative for IDS. They used IDS as a source of testing and she was on TV to give the results. Kind of great, huh? Good luck, you are never to old to learn a new trade. Keep us informed of your success.
