I cannot believe that it is October already...
I was not feeling very well over the last several weeks. Things at work are getting worse everyday...
But there is some good news... I am going back to the community college where I started my academic career to earn a Computer Specialist college credit certificate... I may also try for an Associate of Science degree in Database Technology. I am going to the admissions office after work tomorrow and file my application for readmission... I should be able to start my new course work in January...
About 20 years ago in 1986, I earned an Associate of Arts University Parallel degree... Then I had gone on to earn a B.A. in Psychology in 1989 and then an M.A. in Psychology back in 1993. My so called career in Psychology was a total failure... Most people have the misconception that everyone who has a degree in Psychology is a counselor/psychotherapist.
My areas of specialization were research methods and quantitative methods. Basically, I was more of an applied statistician than anything else... I tried for years to get a job in my area of specialization but to no avail... Either they wanted engineers or someone with a Doctorate degree... Or some perspective employers were incapable of realizing that not all Psychology degree holders are psychotherapists...
After I earned my M.A., I did not want to go on for a PhD... Graduate school was not a very rewarding experience for me so to speak... I think that my experience in graduate school was the reason why I did not want to go back to school for a long time...
This led to me going through a series of unrewarding jobs during the mid to late 1990's. And then on December 1, 1999, I enlisted in the United States Navy... I served only 51 days in 2000 because of a near fatal incident that occurred on January 6, 2000... I was medically discharged and I ended up doing the Support Services job that I have right now... And I am going to leave it at that...
This is the first time that I have fully admitted my academic past on SG.com... Basically, I have just admitted that when I selected Psychology as my undergraduate and graduate school major, I totally fucked up!!!! And that for the most part, the last 20 years of my life have been a joke so to speak...
Well that's about it as far as my discussion of my past life so to speak... If anyone is reading this, please don't ask me any questions... Right now I want to look forward to a better future...
Right now it is about 10PM EDT on October 3, 2007 and only now and tomorrow really matter...
