School...Again....

For those of you who know me, you also know that I have been going to school for...well forever. I started in... (a long time ago) and got my bachelors in 2004. I am now going back again to finish what I started. The problem is...I have never known exactly what "it" is I started, so it is rather hard to finish. I am currently taking pre-requisites for a master's in nutrition, a registered dietitics license, Physician's assistant and/or med school. As you can tell, I'm a little undecided, but I figure if I just keep taking pre-requisites, eventually it will hit me and I will know exactly what to do.

You see there are several factors involved with my choice...my age, time commitment, my age, location of program, my age, and well...my age. If I go the nutritionist route, it will be 3 years, P.A. two years, and med school 4 years (and then residency...which will make me approximately 100 years old by the time I get out). I wish so badly that I would have figured all of this out twenty years ago, but I didn't, and here I am.

I wanted to go to med school when I was 28 and made all of these exuses as to why I was "too old"...boy do I wish I was 28 again (in fact for years that has been my official age). Instead, I pursued several different career paths all leading back to this same point. For your enjoyment (and Bryant's love of lists...), here is a list of all of the different career paths I have tried...wish me luck with this latest one!
