I’ve heard much about the Walden University’s online degree programs that are helping so many people get their degrees which ultimately enables them to make the “big” bucks. In these past few darken years of being stuck right smack dab in a major Depression the “big” bucks is what we are all striving for. In order to learn about Walden I spent some time checking them out online, I found that at WaldenU.edu that they have a very intensive website that took some time for me to absorb. You gotta remember, I just barely made it out of High School. College was never really in the picture for me, back in those days. All my mother wanted me to do was to become a secretary and marry the rich boss, she never really got over the fact that I ended up in the food and beverage industry, a bar wench.

Anyway, I’m thinking of getting into the Social Services field since I have a good heart and know how to talk and deal with people. I think that I am a compassionate human being that enjoys assisting people in any way that I can, been known to literally give the shirt off of my back to some one that needs it more than I do. Anyone that is dealing with people in need most definitely require a HUGE dose of compassion and unfortunately what I have found from personal experience and from thousands of horror stories that I have heard from friends, family and my bar customers, is that the majority of these “professionals” are seriously lacking any type of compassion along with a lot of other qualifications that I think are necessary for this type of career. I think anyone that chooses a career (any career really) should enjoy it to a certain extent and not in it just for the money.

I like to think that I help a lot of people while tending the bar, but the tip jar is rarely flowing over from them all. Knowing that I could be doing the same thing and was guarenteed to go home on payday with a sum that would not only pay the rent on a house of my own as well as the utilities, insurance premiums, taxes, and keep gas, oil and decent tires on the car, well it would be awsome. But at the end of the day if I look in the mirror and like what I see because of what I have done for somebody that day that really effected their lives that day well that is just be the ultimate high.

He is one of the photos I took of my friend Rachel‘s graduation. She and her “study buddy” both aced the coursework for medical assistant. I never had any doubt she could do it!

My girlfriend just finished a two year technical school program so that she can be a medical assistant. They had their graduation last night and she invited me to come, since her mother lives so far away and couldn’t make it up here for the ceremony. I was delighted to go – it was not boring at all. I found it rather inspiring to see all the young people -and a few older ones, as well – lined up in graduation robes and hats to get their diplomas. It was an honor to be invited.

One thing I never realized is that the people in the doctors offices have to buy their own scrubs, lab coats and nursing uniforms. I don’t know why, but I guess I always assumed that the doctor’s office and hospitals provided those for the employees. Most of the other industries that I know of that require employees to wear uniforms provide them to the employees. But I guess with the medical industry they cannot afford to provide uniforms for everyone. Just keeping up with a huge wardrobe in all those different sizes would be a nightmare.

My girlfriend says that she will buy medical scrubs online to not only save money but to get some new colors, prints and styles that are not easily found in the local uniform stores.

New homes are easy to come by in this market, so many of my clients are younger than ever before. These younger generation buyers don’t always know the best things to ask at closings so I do my best to lead them through the process effectively. Sometimes they ask me questions I don’t know the answer to especially since I’m a bit older, so recently when someone asked me about mobile internet I had to defer the question to a college. I hated that feeling so that night I went online and got some MORE INFO for my own reference. The next time anyone asks me anything about wimax or broadband or 4G I’m going to be ready! From what I learned, this kind of internet sounds like a really good solution for a lot of homebuyers and I’m even considering ordering it myself. I like to be as prepared as possible since my business is my creditability. There’s nothing worse than a real estate agent that knows less about the industry than you do!

This morning I was channel surfing, not much on on a Saturday morning unless you are into cartoons and other kiddie shows. So I ended up watching some programs on MTV that I normally wouldn’t consider watching. Like “16 and Pregnant” and “The Things I Did When I Was 17″ both are hard core Reality Shows, which I normally don’t enjoy watching, other than “Survivor” on CBS.

Anyway, I have to say that these MTV shows weren’t as bad as I first thought and I found myself getting interested and watching more than I would have normally watched and stayed in bed a few hours longer than normally on a Saturday morning. I could get used to that!
