This is a great time to be in school.

It's also a great time to be in business.

Most people assume that uncertainty is bad for business. I disagree. I think the unknown causes people to do daring, gutsy things. I know it did with me.

My advice is to ask yourself, gut level, do I want to tough it out in the work force, or do I want to go to school and get some skills? Whatever you choose, I implore you to (at some point) get a college education. The experience of juggling work and school, making you prioritize, and excel, will not be wasted. Also, college is a great place to meet future co-workers and to hone your thinking skills. That's what will set you apart.

I'm probably leaning toward suggesting that you to go to school, if you have choice.

If you don't, temping is great for flexibility skill-learning. It aint great in my experience in making you feel secure.

Keep us posted, you're definitely making progress!

My leaning is toward the school for these reasons:

1)I'm young and about to get married. It will be much harder later if kids or other things come into our familys life to get an education.

2) Right now I am in school part-time and getting use to it again. Being out since I graduated high school (in 1997) I found it hard to get into the swing of things. And looking back at #1 the older I get the harder it is to juggle. I can barely take it now sometimes.

3) The more I procrastinate the longer I wait. I know myself that much.

Are these enough reasons you guys think?
