Week 7, my last week is on week 9. University of Phoenix is still pressuring me to continue my education. All I want to know is what I can do with my Associates. (No, nothing was explained because they are too busy trying to make a quick buck.) We view a list of jobs. The jobs listed one was a librarian (hardly any jobs), elementary teacher (maybe), or social worker.
Plenty of social work jobs considering Idaho is dysfunctional. She continues to pressure me about furthering my education in psychology. This is the same aggressive pressure from the get go. No, I will not continue my education. No, you do not need a special degree to be a social worker. How do I know? Research was conducted about them during one of my papers, mi amigos.
I know tons of people dealing with them. It's a government job. Everybody knows that the government has cut many jobs...this includes social workers! This means that the office is only open on certain times of the week making it a part-time job. This explains why people dealing with social services are having a hard time contacting anyone. Why should I pursue a higher degree? A part-time job will not pay a $50,000 degree let alone help me pay my house payments. Nice try.
My plan is to get out while I still can. I think it is irresponsible to participate with the other Americans who are racking up a million dollar student loan debt. If the economy improves, which it will not as long as people continue to be financially irresponsible, I may go back to college. Not University of Phoenix, not ever again. Maybe if I had someone in my life, I may return. Again, not University of Phoenix.
To add to the stress, Frank's gland acted up again. Most of the plans I had for the tax return are gone. I could not get to work for four hours. The vet was suggesting surgery to have his gland removed. This costs about $400 to $500. For now, Frank is on medication. He seems to be doing fine.
