There were some people in my classes that thought that stuff was just soooooo interesting and I was just lost in a storm. Once I graduated I said that I would either go into education or social services. I started with social services and I really liked it; I am not creative enough to become a teacher. I am planning to make a career in social services and my present goal is to become a Program Director. I am still debating if I want to stay in welfare to work or go to either mental health or work with children. There is just so many options that I can take.

I also considered becoming a Program Director, and I am also debating whether or not to pursue working in mental health or with children in the future. I have my BA in Sociology and Masters in Social Work (MSW).

I have a BA in History, most folks ask me if I wanted to teach. The answer is NO. I started out as an Animal Science major (wanted to be a vet) and then discovered that I had no interest in Science. So I changed to History because I always had an interest. I probably should have thought about what I was going to do with that degree - but you live and learn.

I'm working on my MBA (HR Management) now, hopefully I'll be finished in December.

Right now I work as a Recruiting Coordinator. But my interest is in Benefits and/or Compensation.

Recently I've been thinking about going back to school for my MLS and becoming a Librarian. I figure, I love to read, so I can use that to my advantage and do something that I like.

If I had to do it all over again, I would've started out as a business major. I also would've taken advantage of co-ops and internships so that I'd have experience and have a much better chance of landing a good job.
