Multilevel Marketing and Me

Okay I am really trying to find a system that works for me. I have tried Avon and Pure Romance and I have not done well. It was rather impossible to maintain an online business with these systems and I don't like doing parties. I don't mind telling friends and family about products I am selling but I don't like pestering them if they decide they don't want them.

I am going to try selling Herbalife products. If nothing else I get a months supply for myself with my training package. I have always wanted to try them so even if I don't do well I get to try a product that I am interested in.   I am determined to figure out how to make money doing something like this. I have not been good at sales in the past but I am going to make an effort to learn how to sell not just hope that this product sells itself.

I have books on marketing and I am going to hit the library for books on good sales techniques. I am going to earn my initial investment back as quickly as I possibly can and then I am going to make a profit. If I hate it then I can quit. I just can't stand the thought of being tied to a desk 40-50 hours a week again. I can handle being at home and working on my time schedule even if I end up putting the same amount of hours in a week. I would like to decide I am tired of work and take a break and spend some time with the dog and the chickens.

My biggest problem with a "regular" job is the time clock. Typically you have to get up at a horrible hour in the morning and start getting ready for work. Then you have to drive to work and stay there 8.5 or more hours. You don't get a paid lunch even if you work while eating you lunch. You definitely can not go play with your dog for 15 minutes in the middle of the day nor can you stop work for the repair man that needs to get in an fix the furnace. I want to be able to go to the grocery store at noon on a Tuesday if I ran out of milk and work until 2 in the morning if I can't sleep.

Maybe it is just asking too much but there has to be something out there that I can do I just don't know what that is yet.

Working On a Plan

We have a huge snow storm coming in overnight so I am really glad I don't have to leave the house for work at all this week. I did sign up to be on call a few of the days after the snow in case the office is closed.

I have spent a lot of today working on a better resume and thinking of what I really want to do. There are many positions a social worker can take. I need to put a plan in place with some goals. For example if I want to work in a hospital I need to check the hospital job boards frequently. I could also ask people I know who work in a hospital to help me get in touch with a hospital social worker so I could learn more about what they do. I could also find out what different types of positions social workers take in hospitals. Then I could make a plan to begin networking with the right people and acquiring any education necessary.

That is just an example but I am sure it applies to just about any position I would consider. I do like being able to work at home but I also miss being around people sometimes. This is also a long term plan not a goal I expect to reach in the next few months. While I like the job I have now in the future I would like to make more money but only if it is in my field. I don't want another job at a factory or an automotive shop just to make more money.

I don't plan to move out of the area any time soon so I don't see that 15-20 dollar an hour stable social work job in my near future. Do I believe I will get one eventually? I certainly do, but for now I like my current job and every extra penny counts.

So I will search on for anything and everything I can do to get into a position that will help me to get a job in my field even if that means I have to work weekends and all my evenings off. I just have to sacrifice until I get the right job or right combination of jobs

Also for those of you following my weight loss journey I think I am going back to roughly counting calories. It is actually a bit easier for me right now that trying so hard to just eat fruit, lean meat and veggies. I can plan low calorie meals better than I seem to be able to plan low carb meals. In the spring I might look at the low carb thing again. That is when fresh fruit and veggies taste good and last.

I bought a lot of yogurt this week (all natural Dannon) and some V8 fusion. The V8 is so I can get fruits and veggies in one drink and I just like yogurt. I have not been working out the last week but I am planning to start again soon. I got off track when I got sick and now I have to get back into the swing of things.

Working at Home is Awesome

I really love working at home. I love the job but the part that lets me pull my Lazyboy chair up to the computer and answer phones is the best. I can also work in my pajamas if I want. When I am really busy I am still comfortable.

I am still adjusting to schedule changes and trying to find healthy things I can eat in-between phone calls on my longer shifts. I have a coffee pot set up just feet from my work space. I am really happy about the job and I will work out the kinks in my schedule soon.

This is one of my dreams realized. I wanted to make money from home as one of my least favorite parts of working is the part where I have to get up and get ready and leave the house for work. I now realize that working is not what I hate it is the leaving the house part. I am not a hermit or anything but I do like to leave the house when I feel like it not at the crack of dawn every morning.

I only wish there were more opportunities like this one for others. This really is the perfect job for me. It has also helped me decide that when we build our new home that I need a proper office. I need a place where I can close the doors and lock out the dog or my hubby. It will be after the holidays that we pursue building a home again but it will happen. We have a few things we need to do before we decide for sure on a house plan. I am thinking we really need to make things the way we want them if we are going to build a house because we will have to live their until we die.

Loving Life

Well life is really good right now. Once I get used to flip-flopping my schedule so much I will get some sort of routine going. I have a few things on my mind and I am glad to be able to be back to blogging about them.

One I am so messed up on my working out. I do go for walks with the hubby and dog at least a few times a week but I am having trouble actually making a schedule. I am feeling weak and I really need to do something. I am not sure I want to walk with all the ice and snow considering that two years ago I broke my hip. I fell on the ice tonight and I was more scared that I could break a bone again than I have ever been. I am sure it is an irrational fear stemming form past experience but it is there and I am having trouble overcoming it.

On that same not my elliptical is still not fixed because I can't seem to remember to call the repair line when my hubby is up and can help me follow their instructions on how to possibly repair it. So that is on my list for tomorrow if I remember when I am done here I am going to write a note and affix it to my coffee pot and one to the refrigerator door.

The other thing on my mind is work. I absolutely love my new job. I get to work at home answering phones for a local non-profit. I just refer people to needed resources. One night I work roughly 7pm to 7am and then I work a bunch of day shift hours to cover for people who call of or have meetings or on days they plan to be busy. It looks like this week will be light and so will next week but the next week I am working over 40 hours. I like it this way sometimes I can work a lot and then if I am feeling a bit burnt out I can just work a few extra shifts. I only have the one night that I always have to work.

I really love that I get to work at home so an 8 hour shift is exactly that. I don't have to get up and get ready for work and then drive to work and drive home from work. I eliminate travel time and the time I would take to blow dry my hair and put makeup on. I actually don't feel the need to wear make up except when I go out with the hubby now so not only does this job save on gas money it saves on clothing and cosmetics.

The last thing on my mind is that even though life is great right now I am really crabby and moody. I know it is going to take me some time to get adjusted but I just feel like crap a lot. I know why and I am trying really hard not to take it out on my hubby. I am not always good at that and I am going to have to humble myself and talk to him about it. I will be fine once I get back to eating right and sleeping more regular. I get crabby when my schedule gets messed up and doing one overnight shift  and then switching back to a day shift with only one day to recover is rough.

I hope to post here more and I have been able to read on my overnight shifts so my Dark Novels blog will be updated more often. I am hoping to read a book a week but I can't say all my night shifts will be slow.

Job Scams

As I sit here today after a full 6 hours of searching for a job I am once again outraged by the evil people out there taking advantage of people when they are down on their luck. What exactly do they thing they are going to get from someone who doesn't have a job. It looks like they try to get all of your info and steal your identity or maybe it is you last $200 dollars. Whatever it is they are everywhere.

The worst part is they look like any other job ad most of the time. The scamming business must be booming because they even buy ads on Monster.com and Careerbuilder. The best way to tell if it is a scam is if it seems too good to be true. They are wising up to that and changing their format to include a more reasonable rate of pay.

The thing I really hate is there have been several companies that have made me fill out these long and annoying applications and then they want me to pay for their services. I do have some time on my hands now but I don't want to pay to find a job. If I find a job where I have to pay for uniforms of something that is fine but I am not shelling out any cash to get a job.

Don't these people have a heart, how can they do this crap to people and live with themselves?

If you are looking for employment in this slow economy and you are afraid an offer might be a scam your best bet is to run in the opposite direction. If you want to check it out limit the amount of personal information you give them and never give them money.

If you think you would be good at sales there are many companies that offer you that opportunity and they are legitimate. Just be careful as you enter the job searching world.

Worked A Ton This Week

I worked three days at the office this week instead of two. I will do that again next week because the other woman went on vacation. I also applied for some freelance writing jobs and received a few replies. They all paid based on web traffic and referrals. I don't think they will make much so I spent some time researching and found that Examiner.com was pretty reputable. I am working on a few articles and I will be their Toledo German Shepherd examiner. I know it is not the best place to earn money but it is a start and it is a place I will be able to send potential employers.

I know a few people that I can interview about German Shepherds and I am sure they can send me to others. I also know a few dog trainers and I can talk to my vet. I am not sure how much traffic something like that will bring but I am all over it and I will make it work.

I will soon have 2-3 posts ready for Your Dark Passenger as well. They started as one post and that got out of control so now I have to figure out how to separate it. Then I have to make them perfect before I post them.

My sister got a job and she is moving out of my moms house this weekend so I have to let her come pick up some of the things she had in storage here. I also have to clean and look at houses this weekend so it will be a busy one. I am actually kind of happy to have a lot going on i just wish I could spread it out a little more. Oh well that is life there are busy times and slow times and you can't always chose.

Writing and Volunteering Today

First I want to say please pray for Matt and Sarah Hammitt and their little boy Bowen. Matt is the lead singer of Sanctus Real and he went to my high school. Their baby was born with a heart problem and he is now in the hospital. After a few close calls he is still hanging in there. Your can read more at  Bowens Heart.

I myself am suffering from lack of sleep because of rude people who like to make a lot of noise at all hours of the night. When i can actually identify all the words in a conversation outside at 11pm I am thinking it is too loud.

I am just going to quit thinking about that and try to get enough coffee in me to make the best of what I have today. I volunteer at Toledo Area Ministries today from 1-3 but other than that I plan to be writing. Jen Whitten who has been like an angel to me over the years has invited me to post on one of her blogs. Your Dark Passenger is a blog I read often and I am really excited about being able to contribute. So excited my mind has gone blank and I am having trouble thinking well enough to focus on a topic. I have a post in the works but I am nervous about it. Who would have thought I would get like this when writing for someone I admire.

I also plan to get a few sample articles ready for applying for freelance writing jobs. I have no idea what to write about for these articles. I have been thinking a few articles about dogs, religion, book reviews, and other random articles. I just need to continue writing and things will work out eventually.

Looking Through My Social Work Notebooks

Okay I didn't save any of the files but I did save the complete journey through my senior year of Social Work classes. Consisting of 2 giant binders crammed full of useful information. I started by reading journal entries.

I am almost finished with them and I want to know who that person was. I was not the person I am today. I did mature as the journals progressed. I think I said over and over how much I liked helping people but also how much I liked working independently. My supervisor gave me projects to manage and left me with limited supervision. I should go through and count how many times I said even though it is stressful I love what I am doing. I have not felt like that in a very long time. Well not since I managed a weatherization project for the same organization right out of college. It didn't just make me realize that I am on the right track with planning my career it made me realize that I need to remove some of the negativity from my life. If that means not sharing my goals with my family (except the hubby) then so be it.

On that note I am going to change my life and begin by setting a few goals the first one is I am going to spend some time volunteering at the agency that I worked my internship.

Second I am going to work out 30 minutes a day on the elliptical. I am going to stay on the same max level in my program until I can hit a 10 minute mile and then set a new goal. That way I am not stressed out about the new goal before I get it started. In 30 minutes today I only did 1.3 miles and I was pretty sweaty. The main reason for this goal is that I get exercise every day and I have time for 30 minutes even on work days. If I work as hard as I can for 30 minutes I am sure it is better than just a few longer more lax work outs during the week and it forms a good health habit.

Third I am going to spend time every day reading one chapter in Proverbs for as long as it takes to ingrain the wisdom into my head. I am also going to set aside time to pray everyday even if it is just a few minutes.

Fourth I am going to spend the next two weeks learning everything I can about the business I want to start and try to come up with an outline to go to a free place that helps you with business plans. On that same note I am going to try to treat the people that come into the automotive shop with great respect even if my boss doesn't always treat me that way. It is not the customers fault and at least 95% of the time they deserve my best.

So I am working on things here and I really can't wait to get things started right now I am just excited about it and I know I need to keep working on a plan. I want to say a big thanks to JEFF KING who is super supportive.

Business Plan 101

Well I am working out a business plan a little at a time each day. I am trying to narrow things down and focus. Once I know exactly what services I am going to offer and how to apply fees I will launch a website.

I am giving my self two months to gather information and get the website started. I would like to launch the website by November 6th. I picked that day because I will be attending the local simulcast of Dave Ramsey's Entreleadership seminar. I figure I will learn a lot while I am there and want to tweak some of what I have started.

This will also give me time to develop good discipline in my life as well. In one week things have gotten better for me just by realizing what some of my dreams are. Also realizing that I don't have to spend a fortune to get there. Once things get off the ground there will be things I need to buy but not until I have a few clients. I know there will be some money involved in getting started but I can keep my investments minimal until I get stared. I will want to keep educating myself as well so I will be looking for cheap to free seminars and workshops I can attend to keep up to date on many current things.

I have time right now almost every day so if I spend my week days off like they are work days I should be able to pull this off in two months. If things are successful and I enjoy it as much as I think I will I can eventually quit my other job. Until then I am going to go to work and serve the customers like they were potential clients for my new business. Even if I feel down about something I am going to encourage my customers and try to make them feel great. Maybe it will help business at the shop and bring me future customers. Since I would not be competition for an automotive repair shop I don't see any harm in it.

Life feel like life again. I have a lot of work ahead of me. I have two months to develop a business plan and work on my life plan with my hubby. We went for a walk yesterday and talked a little about that and we are going to talk again after we look at houses today. So it is baby steps with us since his idea of a plan is sit back and watch things happen and hope for the best. I finally compared my life with out a plan to his life without video games (his favorite hobby) I think he got the picture. I truly think he just didn't understand how important it is to me. Now that he does we just have to work on it.

I am not Giving up!!

Well I am not sure where to find supportive people. Apparently I surround myself with negative people. I know that has been a part of my life more than it has not been but in the past I have had a few people that had my back. Now that does not mean they didn't tell me when I was being an idiot but it does mean they were supportive of many things in my life.

I don't have that right now and it is quite disheartening. I do have the skills to be a life consultant, I graduated with honors in my Social Work program. I was best at planning and management.I have lost some of that but I still have books and I can learn again.

I am not going to spend thousands of dollars to get a business running. I am not taking out loans either I hate debt. With the skills I worked hard in school to get I should be able to help people. The skills I need to learn are business skills, I need to design a plan to work with people, and figure out what services I want to offer. I need to write a good contract and learn about the legal and tax aspects.

I can see it in in the faces of the people around me and in the voices of those that I talk to they don't believe I can do it. They think my idea is crazy and stupid. Well sorry but that just pisses me off and makes me want to do it even more. I am going to spend every spare moment regaining my discipline and learning about business the next few weeks and during that time I am going to write all my ideas down. I am going to do this and I am going to be successful. I am also going to start looking for some more positive people to surround myself with.

I may even offer to help some people for free while I am trying to figure out an official plan.

I Think I Know What I Want To Do With My Life

Well I am still thinking of a plan of action but I am really excited. I want to be a Financial/Life Coach. I know that I don't always seem to have it together myself but I think much of that has been because I could not figure out how what I wanted to do.  I was even starting to think that I don't like people. I just don't like some people and they happen to be some of the people I have to deal with the most.

As a Social Worker most of  jobs require you to try to help people and you work long hours helping people who don't want your help. Now I know that is not always the case and some Social Work jobs are very rewarding.So I spent about a year looking for a job in my field that would be rewarding and I couldn't find anything. Then I settled down in a job in an automotive shop where I love the job and most of the customers but I am not satisfied with working for a boss especially considering he is my step-dad.

Another thing I want to be able to do is choose my clients and tell them if they don't follow my advice then it won't work and the Social Work mentality (and code of ethics) requires you to empower the client to figure out for themselves what is good for them. It essentially takes the power away from you and gives it to the client and in most Social Work jobs that is a good thing to try and accomplish. It is also hard to do with a client who lacks common sense or any training in life skills.

So to get on my new plan I need to rediscover the discipline I had for myself while I attended school, got good grades, stayed reasonably fit and managed to make good financial choices. I still love to learn and have made good financial choices but I need to work on a few other areas of personal discipline. You can't teach discipline if you don't practice it. So my personal goals are:

1. to spend 30 minutes a day five days a week working out. That way I can skip the days I have to be up at the crack of dawn for work. This is a reasonable goal instead of trying to make 60-90 minutes I can start with 30 minutes and work my way up.
2. Spend at least  a minumum15 minutes on long work days and 1 hour on shorter or now work days of focused time working on a business plan. More if time allows
3. Clean the house all week long. If that means doing a load of laundry before work and after work on the long days then so be it. I really hate cleaning I would rather mow the yard 20 times than have to clean or learn to live on a 25 dollar a week food budget than clean. I have to suck it up and get it done.

The other thing is I want to spend 100 dollars to educate myself and try to start a website I spent 25 dollars on books so that leaves me 75 for a website. If I need to spend more I will take it from another area such as dropping down to one Netflix DVD at a time for a few months. Since that is our only form of entertainment it is in the budget but it can be reduced if needed.


For those of you who read today's earlier post my talk with my hubby or rather the letter I wrote him that led to talking went well. We don't have a concrete plan right now yet other than looking at more houses. Thing is just talking about it made me feel better. More than that I am okay with not moving right away as long as we have a plan to move even if that plan changes to saving more before we move because we don't like the houses in our price range.

Some Times I Think I am Crazy

Yesterday I didn't feel real good because I had not been getting enough sleep. I have been going to bed thinking about, or more like stressing out about the possibility of moving and getting another job. So yesterday I got away from this world and got into a good book. I still had some trouble getting to sleep last night but not as much.

I decided not to worry about these things anymore right now. I need my sleep which means I can't work two shifts but there has to be a job out there that will work me on the days I don't work I just have to be patient. I can't quit my job right now because we are looking for a house and we need 3 years of solid work history. I don't need the job but I really wanted something to do. I really wish I could just get something I could do at home that didn't involve selling stuff. I thought of calling myself a freelance office worker and doing mailings and filing and things now one else wants to do. I love doing mailings except the paper cuts. I could do that all day to tell you the truth. It is dull work but it gives me all the time I need to think.

When I have time to think it helps my brain to shut off at night well that is when I am not anxious about something. I have decided to leave the house decisions up to my hubby after telling him what I think our financial position was and what I am worried about. That is not to say that I won't help with things if he asks but I am not going to get all excited about it one way or the other until he is ready to make a decision. I actually think that is what is making me so anxious but I have been working hard to find a job and if I get one while we are trying to buy a house it messes things up. I can't take time off for closings and repair work and.....Yea that is what is making me crazy.

I don't know why but I am always thinking what if. What if we need a new roof on the duplex or something else needs repaired, what if a car breaks down and I can't get to work, what if my husband gets laid off, what if .............well you get the picture. I don't like to not be able to cover those what if's. I like to have an answer or plan for them all. I like to have some money for them all.

I can't relax when there are too many what if's hanging in the air.

Job Scams and Crazy Sales People

I don't know how to say this any clearer to the people out there trying to "offer" me a job. I don't want to do sales but I don't want to post that at the top of my resume because there are things I do that are sales related. I could sell a product if the people are calling me about the product or visiting me about the product. Right now I do actually sell car repairs and if I worked for a bookstore I would sell books. I don't want to do demos in peoples homes or go door to door to sell people anything including insurance and retirement plans. So how do I make that clear and how do I avoid going to job interviews that end up like that? At least these are real jobs though and they really do need sales people to go find potential buyers.

What has really been getting me is that I get at least 20+ emails a day about Mystery Shoppers, Check Printers, Personal Assistants, House-cleaners or Babysitters. Most of them claim to be from the UK and they need their business in the states handled. Some of them don't tell you their location but their English is so poor you can tell it is not their native language. Some of them look like real at home job offers then they want you to purchase something. Most of them are obvious scams and when concerned type something from the email into your search engine and you will come up with a scam alert 9 times out of ten.

I really don't understand this why are people preying on people looking for jobs? That implies they either don't have a job or they don't have a good job where would they get money from. Maybe you get them to do your illegal activities for you so they get in trouble and you don't? I have not looked that far into it but I did reply to one once and gave no further identifying information like they asked for. I told them there was no way I could pay for software or equipment to work for anyone....and guess what they never wrote me back. Maybe they can steal identities if they get more information or something.

Oh and just to let you know there are real Mystery Shopper places but I don't think they need to recruit people. They don't pay a lot of money like although they do have some good jobs available in some areas. I get things in my email that will say things like $300 dollars for twenty minutes of your time. So far I have not run across a real job for a personal assistant although I am sure they do exist, even if much of the work was from home I am sure there would be a central location for the job and it would be close to where you live. Just be careful if you are out there looking for a job. I was brought up by a woman who was very sensitive (paranoid) about things like scams. It may be something is a curse in some areas of my life but it comes in handy to be paranoid at times.

So Much to do and so Little Time

Well the job search has taken a turn for the time. I am still looking for a good full time job to replace what I have now or a part time job that will work around the hours I already work. I like my job a lot and that is probably why I don't want to loose it. I don't like the way my boss treats people but the job I like. I would be happy to do the same job with a boss that knew how to treat people.

I realized that when I worked for an office this week where the environment was warm and friendly. I don't mind busy work and I actually like office work. I just don't want to be yelled at or feel like asking a question will get me in as much trouble as doing it wrong. It was refreshing to work somewhere like this and I picked up a few hints on how to talk to people myself. I should say it reminded me how to talk to people properly.

I am still looking for a job and now we are looking at a great deal for a house. The house is awesome and it is bank owned. I don't know how much they will deal but I would love to buy it. We are still working out the details and trying to figure out if it is a good decision. There would be some major repairs that would need to be made right away for us to live in it but other than those things that were taken from the house it is nearly new. We do have to think about all the costs and get prices on everything before we make a decision on what to offer or even if we should make an offer. There will be things that will be more expensive and things that will be less expensive than the house we rent. So we have to weight the differences and see if we have enough to get things done and done right.

On top of all that I really need some good reading time. I have filled out what seems like a million job apps and I have contractors to call and get prices and I really just need a day to curl up in my chair and read a good relaxing fiction book. Oh yes and I need to clean but I really don't want to.

Job Search Is Not Going Great

I have realized there is no way I can live on 4 hours of sleep and to work two jobs so I can't take a full time third shift job. I can take one that is part time and doesn't work me the full 8 hours. I can do an overnight stocking job where maybe I could work 6 hours or Thursday to Sunday. So I have not ruled that out yet.

This week I got work for my days off but that is just to help an office get caught up. Work is work thought and while I would love for it to last longer it is extra money this week that I can put towards a down payment on a house.

If I can't find work soon I am going to have to start thinking of business ideas. I just can't do the overnight thing and still work at my current job. I can't get more hours there either and I am not sure I want to. I had a difficult customer last night and was not able to deal with him. He was angry and he wanted a price reduction. Then my boss got mad and started blaming the office help (which is me and one other girl). We had notes to prove that we didn't mess things up which is a good things.  I am not so upset about the customer after tracking things down I was ready to just tell him the price that was quoted but we gave him a discount anyway. I get aggravated with the constant blaming my boss does. I  know on my days he blames the other girl so I am not so stupid as to believe that he doesn't do the opposite when she works. Even if she found a great job and quit I don't think I could work there full time again. I do like the job when things are going well with the boss but when he is upset the job is not worth the stress. Who knows what will happen

Well anyhow I am going to keep applying for jobs and see if any of them result in long term employment. We have been looking at a house and because it is  bank owned I am looking at putting a very low offer in if we get pre-approved tonight. The house has been empty for a long time now and we would have quite a few repairs to do. My hubby and I both really like the house so if things work out I would love to be able to buy it. I am not going to stress about it though because if they don't accept an offer low enough that we can still put 20 percent down and pay for the repairs with what we have saved  I don't think we can take it. If they do that would be awesome but the bank may want to hold out for a better opportunity.

I worked almost 20 hours in two days at my day job. I also went to two temp agencies and a sales interview. I need to call the sales guy and let him know I am not interested in the position. I have to say I really don't like selling things. Well I don't mind selling something that customers come to me for I don't like selling things that I have to find a customer to buy. I have filled out hundreds of online applications and have even thought of some of the at home customer service jobs.

I was told there are two $9 dollar an hour third shift factory jobs I would qualify for soon. I am not too keen on the pay and I would have to keep my current position so that would be at least 58 hours a week plus weekend overtime of 8-16 more hours. I can do that but not for a long time. I really want to move so I need to save more money quickly so I will do what needs to be done.

There are two problems with that schedule other than the fact that I will be a zombie. One is that I have tried to talk to my hubby about taking on more housework and he is basically ignoring me. If I start a second job and work a minimum of 58 hours a week and he works only works his usual 46 hours I don't think it is unreasonable to ask for help. I really don't think it is at all unreasonable to ask that we spend a few hours on my last week or two as a part time worker on making some chore lists and planning our budgets. The budget can be planned on his pay and rental income and everything I make plus some can be saved. So it won't be hard it will just take time to plan it.

The second problem I am having is that I am really having a hard time accepting that I went to college for a bachelors degree and I am going to be stuck working a low pay factory job for now. I don't want to be a Social Worker but you would think that I could find a reasonable paying job (something $10 an hour or more) because I have a degree. I really don't want to go back to school, I thought I did but I realized I really didn't after just one semester. I would like to make more money and have a job that didn't confine me to a desk the entire day. I suppose that I am just going to have to suck it up and do what I can for now.
