Rejected the first year. Planning to reapply this upcoming year- associates program in my state requires TEAS exam. There were 400 applicants last year so it was definitely my TEAS score since I have 4.0 for all my prerequisites.
Have my bachelors degree. Have been doing all my science prereqs. Thinking about going into healthcare due to not finding a job with my previous degree- but also debating between reapplying to x ray tech or pursuing surg tech in order to gain experience and begin working.
30 years old. Got my bachelors in Sociology and Law in hopes to attend law school which ended up being crushed by doing a couple of internships in my senior year. Graduated with this degree which I have no interest in. I ended up pivoting into wellness and fitness and worked as a personal trainer for 6 years. I ended up getting a massage therapy license as well, which I’m going into my 3rd year. It brings me joy but I find that my work is slowly debilitating me physically - as it is a physically laborious job. I enjoy fitness and working out but I find that my work depends on my body and I need to be in my best shape to perform, so I’m tired out by the end of the shift some days. There’s good money but it’s not what I see myself doing long term.
I’ve worked in a lot of industries such as waitressing, customer service, physical therapy aide, front desk. I found myself applying to a couple of healthcare programs at the community college to gain experience because I’ve thought about going back to pursue education as a physician’s assistant- in the future- but now I’m questioning everything I’m doing. I feel like I want a job that pays me well and eventually I want to assist my family because they are growing older. So I feel this pressure as each day passes.
Not sure what I’m searching for here… reassurance , advice, or a smack to the head.
