A foggy path toward a clear goal
Our goal is becoming clearer, now the problem is the route we take to get there. We talked to a career counselor about welding and machining and as it turns out, those are growth fields, so we should be fine once we finish whatever program we take first. What we can't quite figure out is what to do while we're in the course.
We've considered staying at our full time jobs, but the resultant 60-hour week would be horrible. We've thought of trying to go down to part time, but I'm not very confident that we'll be able to without quitting for three months and coming back. We've thought about trying to get a different job for the duration but we're not sure what we'd be able to get. We've even considered just taking out a loan to live on for the few months we're in school.
Honestly the last one is where I'm leaning as it would cut our current work week in half, which would give us more time to work on other goals as well. We could stream more, spend more time with our families, I could work harder at voice acting, but it does present the drawback of paying the loan back. Alu isn't too keen on living off of a loan, which I can definitely understand, but it doesn't scare me as much since we'd almost certainly be making substantially more money wherever we end up after the course is over.
Decisions, decisions.
This morning, I weighed 178.6 lbs.
Yesterday, I ate:
~ Two bowls of cereal
~ A pint of ice cream
~ A cinnalove waffle from Waffle Love
I'm hoping things get clearer soon, we only have a couple of months left in the year and we wanted to start school at the beginning of next year. I guess we'll just have to see.
Take it easy!
