i love college life, but it is about time i got out into the "real world" i have a year and a half left and can't decide whether to go back to school this summer or not. i like summer classes better than the regular semester (way shorter, smaller classes) but i need to get financially stable to make sure i don't get evicted. if i go this summer i should be done by next spring. i am just anxious about trying to work AND go to school. i have never been able to handle both in the past. but i am going to have to, i think.
i am planning on going into social work. i will work at an entry level job for a few years before going to grad school. the question is, am i stable enough to do this sort of work? i have to be dependable and responsible and right now i am not sure if i am. i mean, it is better than it was. a year ago i would have said that i was definately not dependable or responsible. when do you reach a point where taking on others' complex issues is acceptable? my main wish is to have a job that is of benefit to others, so i know that this is the field that is right for me. i just don't know if i am up to the challenge.
