recently i’ve been thinking about going to college. i know i’m getting a little older and i should have done this years ago, but after my dad got sick i just sorta lost the will to do things. i need to start thinking about what i’m going to do with the rest of my life. of course there is my dream job, but the only way to get to the tom savini school is to move to PA, and while i wouldn’t mind living in PA (my grandfather and uncle live up there), i really don’t have the resources to get there, and i’ll admit, the idea of being out on my own (ie no room mate friends, ect) scares the crap out of me. i’ve never lived just on my own. i’ve always had a relative or a friend living with me.

there’s my backup job, which i think i’m going to look into further. graphics design was something that i took up back in highschool. i’ve always enjoyed working on stuff like that and i think if i furthered my education in it i would be pretty good. i could be a web designer or make designs for a postcard mailing services.

with the skills i have learned working in second life, i’ve even thought about going to college for some sort of 3d work, but that’s probably not as easy to get into as graphics design and i’m not sure if i could take online classes for that. it would be awesome though! i really enjoy figuring those programs out.

so i have a lot to think about…

  • It’s never too late to start college! I did so this year and I’ll be 27 in July so I’m about your age. Thanks to doing so I was very motivated to study when I started college which I’m sure I wouldn’t have been if I had done so right after high school. It was good taking a break doing other things because that made going back to school fun since it had been so long since I studied. So don’t worry about being too old for college. You’ll probably just be a lot more motivated now than you would have been a couple of years ago.

    I understand that the thought of moving far away all by yourself seems scary. Have you thought about studying online? That’s what I do so I didn’t have to move anywhere.

    • yes studying online is definitely what i’m going to do, which means i have to drop my dream job. the job i want does not have online courses :(

  • Agree never too late to go back to college! I would give it ago, maybe research around on online course
