Made it back a few minutes ago. Should probably go to bed instead of starting a movie or TV show. :lau

Man is it nasty out there. Windy and rainy and I think it’s just starting to turn to sleet. :sick

Got back just in time.

Also might have a flat but I’m hoping not. :fl

The low pressure light came on and I may have run something over shortly before, not sure, but I’m hoping it’s not a flat and is back to normal tomorrow. :fl

Sometimes it’s just the cold and it resets itself so :fl
 
Kdog Rip ahead.

I do not think you should go back to school right now because you went to school already and aren't using that education for work.
I do not think it's fair to have your parents foot the bill for something you may not use again.
I think you should get a job and pay for your own schooling. :D


Wasn't really a rip but...

I get that to an extent but that’s why I want to go back.... because I do want to use it. And the only reason I haven’t used it is because I haven’t really done much of anything in general lately. Not really on purpose. But I do plan on using it. And already somewhat have.

I think it would be extremely useful to the dog training career and have used some of the principles already.

I want to go back and get an animal behavior (not science) degree or at least psychology to help with the training thing and help me be a better trainer. Or if I decide to go with another career.

I only have a two year right now which is basically useless these days. I really feel like I should at least get a 4 year degree. That’s kind of useless too but I’d rather go now and finish rather than regret it later.

And honestly I really haven’t cost them that much because I went to a community college and lived at home whereas my brother’s both went to regular actual 4 year schools. They would gladly pay for it I’m sure. But I probably should pay myself. I have a lot in the bank. And also now that I’m over 24 it’s based on my income not my parents so I could probably basically go for free/get a lot of aid no matter who pays for it.

The only money they’ve wasted is the year and one semester I spent at my first school in the education program which I dropped out of.

The behavioral science I have been using, believe it or not, and it is extremely useful in many aspects. Especially in the training.

But my parents, my mom mostly, have actually been telling me I should go back to school since I graduated. They want me to. But I never did until now. And even now I’m still not sure.

I kind of would rather just be done with it and never go back, or at least that’s what I thought at the time.

But now I’m starting to think differently.

And I really think it would be useful for the career.

BUT.

It’s not entirely necessary and I would still have to go through a training school but I actually think I would have a better chance of getting into the one I want to if I went back.

But all that said, I’m not really entirely sure I want to go live on campus again and that would also cost way more so I’m considering just going to a local branch of a school here that has a program with the school I graduated from where you can go finish your degree and transfer tons of credits over. This one is 4 year whereas my school is only a 2 year and you can transfer something like 90 credits so I’d barely have to take any classes or time or money to finish my degree and get the 4 year. I’m already really close to it cause I think I took some extra classes plus still have credits from the first school.

But all that said, I don’t think this school has Animal Behavior. I think they only have Psychology. So I’m kind of debating it because if I’m going to go back, I really would like it to be in something useful and specific to the career, like animal behavior, not just psychology or any degree, but I also really don’t want to move right now or go live on campus again.

Psychology might be useful too but if I’m going to go back, I want to get the one I want.

Plus that one would likely be more useful and beneficial and I could use it to move into a different/better animal related field besides training if I ever wanted to.

But this is all still hypothetical.

Honestly, for a while I kept coming up with excuses about why I couldn’t go back, and I’m still doing it. I’m still not sure. I keep telling myself school is not for me and it just stresses me out and makes my mental health way worse than it already is, which is true to a point, but I also think I need to suck it up and get over it and get a damn 4 year degree at least.

Go back then.
 
I couldn't even read that novel you wrote :gig

It's because this puppy is bugging me for her breakfast. I slept in for the first time in years. I think the benedryl I took was the reason I slept so good.

I think schooling is great just as long as you use it. Some people go to school and spend tons of money then never use their degree they paid thousands for.

:lau yeah I know, sorry :oops:

I bet Kiki couldn’t either. Probably most people actually :lau :oops:

I can try to shorten it/sum it up but the details are hard to condense lol

But I need to work on shortening my posts. :oops:

But I’ll say I do totally understand that and don’t want to be one of those people but I don’t think I will be. It’s extremely relevant to what I plan on doing (dog training). And even if I go a different route, still useful. There’s tons of potential careers from it. And the community college is also wayyy cheaper than regular colleges which is an advantage. I’ve saved tons already even if I go to a regular school now.

But I still don’t know that I even want to go back. I’m still thinking about it.

It’s all just hypothetical.

I just feel kinda guilty/stupid just quitting and giving up on school now.

And awwww your puppy is so cute!! :love
