I am going back to school this year. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. January 16th I start my first Paralegal class here at the local college. I'm just taking one to see how I like it and then go from there. I wanted an evening class since I work during the day but there wasn't one so I'm taking it online. I'm so excited about this that I wanted to share. I already have a four year business degree specializing in marketing but when I got out of college I couldn't find a job so I took a job as a secretary for a government painting contractor and have been here 10 years. Have moved up to doing accounts payable/receivable, certified payrolls, bank recs. etc... I like the people I work with and the flexible work environment but I am SO bored. I need a challenge, I don't want to have to bring things TO work with me to keep me busy. I also finally realized that I can't see myself "retiring" from this place and by the looks of things it may not even be here in the next few years. I think I've stayed because it comfortable. I'm not one to take risks and the fact that I get great insurance and 4 weeks vacation makes it hard to look elsewhere. Who knows what will happen! I have been interested in the legal field for awhile and decided to take a chance. I may suck at it but if I don't take a chance then I'll always wonder "What If..." That's my moto this year is to start living my life and not just existing in it. Thanks for listening and wish me luck.
