I was raised in a very rural area and in the 80s it was still a new idea for women to blaze a trail and it was suggested that I become a great secretary. I felt like I could do more, but had no idea how. College was never discussed.
I went to cosmetology school and thought it might be a great way to have a flexible job and put myself through college. I had allergies to a lot of the products and chemicals, so that didn't work out as well as I had hoped.
Married at 25, started attending a community college, then a private university before ending my marriage and moving out of the state at 31. I had about 27 hours remaining for my degree in Business Administration when I was presented with the opportunity to build a business, but it required long hours and no way to finish my degree. I had assumed I would finish in just a couple of short years.
I was doing well, at the top of my game and blazing trails before pairing up with someone I new little about. I had never been exposed to drugs and after 7 years of being ignorant, then learning a little more than I ever wanted to know about cocaine and addictions I finally had to sell my practice to pay for the damage my "partner's" addiction had caused.
Worked from home through a company providing online customer service for a few years so I could reset my brain. No money to finish school, and more bills than I had sense.
So, now, after having been in a supportive relationship for a year I have decided it is time to look at other options that I would never consider before. This time I want flexibility, fun and laughs.
Follow me. Laugh with me.
