Changed Majors


My Photography: Pecan and Sycamore Tree in Winter (2014)

I decided recently to change my college major from Health Information Technology to Computer Support Specialist. I did it mainly because first off I was taking healthcare statistics and it was kicking my ass and I knew that if I did not drop the class that I was going to fail and it would be next year before I could take it again and I still would not of graduated til next summer. Second I had been talking to people in the profession on Linkedin and they were telling me that not only would I have to do my practical but also probably have to volunteer for another two years before even being offered a job and it would give me experience which I badly needed but I could not really see me driving all over the place for another 2 years and still be at my crappy ass little job. So I know that I was close to graduating with my degree this summer but I just could not deal with all of this information that people were telling me. So I dropped both the classes I had and I changed majors. As a result I am taking the rest of the current semester off and I will start back up with school in the Summer as long as I did not lose my remaining Pell money. I decided on computer support because it is the only other thing that I am comfortable majoring in I did not want to do anything have to do with Business Administration that ship sailed long ago. I enjoy a computer and doing things with it so I am giving this a try so when I get done in 2015 I can do it from home and until I can find a full time job in it somewhere at least I will get paid for doing it. 

So while I am taking a break from school I am going to continue this blog so no fears there. I am also going to start studying to update my skills so I can take a couple of Microsoft Office Specialist tests so I can get re-certified in that. 

I also want to say a quick thank you to all of my readers I currently have 615 views of this blog since it started.
