Hello, Right now im really confused on my life..I majored in history thinking that once i got a degree that i would "go some where", unfortunately its not happening with a ba in history. It seems that people expect me to teach and thats it and if i try to do something else, its mainly retail/retail management. When I came back to where i lived my friend decided to help me out since i had a close family member pass away. I can go back to school and finish my certification(i lack three classes and my ppr and content exam which all cost money) to be a teacher, or i can go back and try to finish my degree in business(i am lacking 14 classes) I think that my friend will help me pay for the classes, but i feel bad since i am 32 and i feel that at my age i should have my own place. Today, my car broke down and i found out the engine is shot. This makes me feel more like i should be working more and that its "too late" to go back to school. My friend tells me that in the end, if i can have a degree that will get me a good career and a good job that is all that will matter so what is a year and a half vs the rest of my life..I m so confused right now because of what happened today. When i asked him about school he just told me we would cross that bridge when we come to it. I feel bad that i have to have him take care of me like a child, i do contribute 200 monthly but i feel its not enough. I also feel like i am wasting time here..what do i do? the career counselors at my college are horrible!!!
