Update. I went through two weeks of training, including medicine administration, and decided that the job was not for me. They were asking me to do way too much for the minimal pay I'd be getting (you want me to give ppl beh. mod drugs for $8 an HOUR? wtf?). I took a temp position at an agency that lists Human Service organizations and that's been interersting, to say the least. But the pay is good, and that is what I need right now. I actually work with someone who is in the program I'm considering and he's agreed to be a kind of mentor for me. I just found out yesterday that I was offered a county position as a Human Service worker (temporary assistance). While thinking about what I want to do when I grow up (lol), I decided that I had no face to face interaction with adults, and this county position can give me that. In the meantime, I'm still applying to grad programs and looking for money to pay for my master's degree. This new job offeres tuition assistance and assistance for learning a foreign language, so this could be a great catalyst for my career. Again, if anyone is intrested, I'll keep ya'll informed. Thanks again for all the great advice and information.
