Have you ever considered uprooting your life, and replanting it somewhere else? Headed into college, I had a clear plan of the next 10 years of my life. I was going to college to complete the study of child psychology. I wanted to be a children's therapist, and that's all I could think of. Well, that and the fact that I was headed to the 4th biggest party school in the country. *giggle*

I was stupid though, and I let an older member of my family influence my decision. I had never thought about getting a job after school, I just thought this was what I wanted to know more about. So, I let him talk me into changing everything...from psychology, to a business/accounting degree. PERFECT FOR SOMEONE WHO HATES MATH!!! See, stupid!

Well, now here I am, not using my skills, and feeling like school was useless (I know it wasn't, but still...). I am hating this job of mine every day more and more. It used to be the place I was sad to leave and I would jump out of bed in the morning, anxious to get to. Now it's boring, restricted, and redundant. It's like working a factory job but with music. I have worked and worked at ways of making it better, but have exhausted every resource available. I can't be happy with a life where I'm no longer feeling challenged.

So, here's my thought...I go back to school, get my degree in child psychology and work in a job that I would potentially love and would care about. I can't imagine starting over at this point though. Even though, I know that I'll be headed into this with more knowledge than before, and won't be deterred from my dream. Plus, the market for this type of work is HUGE in this area and quite simply, I love kids. Probably because I still am one.

So, here it is, making a short story long...how ridicules is it to revamp your life headed into your 30's? I need some feedback on this issue...
