To kind of go with my rant about employment, I've been looking into other career options and one that keeps standing out over and over again is going back to school.
My boyfriend has his MBA and so far has done extremely well for himself. He is working in a full time job, salary, benefits and to top it off his boss is AWESOME!
Makes me really want that stability in my life. I want a career, I want a salary, I WANT BENEFITS!
Most of the jobs I want are asking for an MBA or at least like 3 or 5 years experience, which I dont exactly have considering my jumping around from job to job. And the career I chose isnt exactly on the up right now in this economy. If I could make a stable career in the production field, I'd stick with it but since it seems every couple months or so I have to go back on the search for something, its stressful not knowing what I will be making next month or what I will be doing. Its freaking me out and effecting me in all kinds of ways, mostly my relationship with my boyfriend.
We talk about being together long term but I dont want to jump in that commitment until I am stable. I eventually want kids and a house but I can afford that with what I am doing right now. Heck, I am in need of a new car but cant take on a car payment when I can barley make rent each month. I also have had dreams of becoming a yoga instructor but how am I going to come up with $3,000 for tuition for the training program without a job?
The downfall to going back to school, is most MBA programs cost between $60,000-$75,000. I would be in some massive debt but if it leads me to a well paying career, I can pay that off in a couple of years.
So I dont know yet, I'm still looking at options, applying for jobs, etc. But the more and more I look, the more and more I consider going back to school.

Master Cleanse.. Day 6.
ALMOST HALF WAY THERE!!!!
Colan and I have been on the master cleanse detox for 6 days now (well almost 6) and so far its going okay. We have kind of taken a more modern approach to it and dont completely starve ourselves. I had read awhile back that if you are absolutely starving, then to eat some raw veggies or a plain, boneless, skinless chicken breast. So that's what we have been doing at night (Colan more so then me), grill up a chicken breast and eat it slowly to savor the taste. Plus, one little 6oz breast fills you up pretty quickly when all that's in your stomach is liquid.
And to prove that this thing is actually working, I caved in and bought a scale today. I despise scales (they make women cry) but thought it would be nice to actually see if I was dropping weight on this detox. And surprise! I've almost dropped 10lbs in 6 days!
I know its not too healthy but I'm sure I will gain some back once I start eating again but it is nice to actually have this boost to kick start my weight loss. I would go for more rapid weight loss and exercise while on this diet but honestly, you get light headed pretty quickly, so your pretty couch ridden for a few days haha
All in all I'm enjoying this diet but dont want to be on it for too long. My sense of smell has heightened and every time I smell something delicious, my stomach starts yelling at me to eat something that taste that delicious!
