I'm on my second year in college, about half way done getting my degree. I'll get into a field that I think I will really enjoy, and will make a decent wage of about $40k a year starting out.
On the other hand, I just found out about a job that I am qualified for. It is in a career field that I didn't like all that much, and I was getting $36k a year. This new job is a little different, but the same idea as my previous job, only this one is offering almost $60,000 a year.
I could skip the education for a while, do a job I don't like, and make mad cash (for this area).
Or continue to be poor for the next 2.5 years, made a decent wage when I graduate, and like what I do.

What would you do?

My child ken, is 13yrs old. He currently is enrolled in a christian based grade school. He refuses to go to school since half way through last year. He is always excited to go he joined sports teams and loves to see his friendsbut when it is actually time to go he refuses. He goes every once in a while and he does all the assignments he has missed. I enrolled him in therapy sessions last yr. and he still goes to them.

Now, new school year.... and he wont go. The school is fed up and so am I, So I took him to rogers memorial hospital for a week long study with other students having similar problems.

I spent 6 years in college getting a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Science. I'm really starting to loathe it, and really don't feel like I have the "passion" for programming that my colleagues have. I simply hate sitting in front of a computer at work all day.

I was thinking of going back to school to become a Pharmacist. I had quite a few questions, though:

* My local pharmacy school isn't ranked all that well in national rankings -- tied for 27th out of 36 ranked by US News & World Report. Will that be a big problem in finding a good job?
* If I want to "test the waters" by becoming a pharmacy tech, will I need a special degree?
* Is this an expanding field, or is the demand for pharmacists decreasing with online prescription sites?
* Do any major pharmacies or stores with pharmacies offer some sort of tuition reimbursement for becoming a pharmacist?
* What exactly does the job *entail* at a place like CVS or Walgreens?

Do we have such a terrible education system that no one knows how to spell anymore? I'm reading questions being posted on here by 15 year old kids and am completely amazed that my 1st grader can spell better than they can...Why is that? Maybe they should spend less time online "writing" blogs and more time learning how to spell.... Just had to vent...Sorry... :-)
