Slight change

So I've decided to change my blog up a little. I'm still in poverty from not having a job but it's no longer self-imposed. So I am going to start writing about the "adventures" I'm having in finding gainful employment. I will also share helpful hints, if I hear any.

Since becoming unemployed, I have been told by MANY people that "everything happens for a reason, blah blah blah". I'm not sure if I believe that or not but if it is true, I don't see the point in this. I have looked at all angles and the only thing I can conjure up is that up to this point, I've made the wrong decisions. Wrong major, wrong career path, wrong state to live in... All just wrong!

Okay so what is right then? I found an interesting article online in which the author states that if you find yourself in the same situation as I am and confused as to where to go, don't ask yourself what you want to do with the rest of your life, but who do you want to become.

I have always been someone where I have wanted to help people improve their lives, which is why I went into health education. Working at the health department for so many years, I gained a passion for women's health but mostly in the line of reproductive health. So I have thought about becoming a certified nurse midwife. However, I would need to take several science classes prior to applying. In the meantime, I still have bills to pay and need an income.
