I am 31. I graduated high school in 2009, and did what was expected of me: I immediately went to university that following fall semester. I was set on being a German major with a journalism degree (people attempted to tell me to do it vice versa, stubborn 18 year old me said no, lol). Long story short, I changed my major a few times, and flunked out. I realize now it was the undiagnosed ADHD and possibly depression. I digress, I tried again, flunked out again. At 29, after my tech job closed, I had the random idea of going to cosmetology school... working at a salon (with women twice my age who bullied me), I realized that career was not for me.
I worked at a law firm for a year and a half as an IT assistant, and did enjoy it. I'm good at IT, but it's certainty not a passion or anything. My position was terminated due to cut backs, so now I've been trying to decide what I want to do next.
I've always felt ashamed I didn't finish college, even though I know I shouldn't, it's the norm from what I've seen. I could probably easily get another help desk type job, so I'm not concerned with jobs, but... I was looking at the two local community colleges here, and I have a passion for creative writing, arts, and languages. So now I wonder if I would be wasting my time with an Associates Degree in English or LA, or if I should just suck it up and be realistic and either: give up the idea of college, or do something with IT/computers since that's what I have experience in.
I don't know if I'd follow up with a bachelor's degree. At this point, I think I just want to be proud of myself for finishing some type of schooling besides high school.
