Re: Unfulfilled with my current career
2b, yes, I know what you mean about unfulfilled. But, it seems as if you have a number of good options. I'm not sure if I would go into debt for a nonurgent situation at this precarious time, however. I write nonurgent because you are currently holding a job. Have you taken a career assessment to see what your skills, values, and abilities are? I would do that first before I embark on another unfilling career journey. Also, consider health information management, formerly medical records. I know, I know, this may not be what you had in mind. But this area is really very diverse and offers alot of opportunities for lateral moves as well as advancement. It also pays pretty decently and for the most part you can avoid weekends and holidays. I've been encouraging people to take a look at health information management because it is a well-kept secret. Take a look under certification which is under professional development at
www.ahima.org and note the opportunities. If you like to deal with the coding, financial, business, IT side of health care, this field is for you. Best wishes.
PS: I will say that having a nurse's license has opened doors for me to get into roles that don't require me to work weekends and holidays.
