School...a love - hate relationship.

Well, I did it. I FINALLY chose my degree. It might make some of you laught because it's what I've really been in all along. However, not being content with boring old psychology I decided to look in every other direction to find something more interesting and gratifying. I'm just finishing my Associates in Psychology through Utah Valley University and didn't have any desire to to continue my education in that subject.

All of that changed just a couple of weeks ago. After Todd and I went and visited some good friends and talked about a struggle they had been dealing with recently, the wife (names left out intentionally) mentioned how well I would do in a Counseling career. My gut reaction was to say "NO WAY! I don't want to study that any more...let alone go to Graduate School for it." Luckily I held my tongue. I allowed myself to think about that for a few days. The more I thought about it the more comfortable I felt. Finally I realized how silly I had been the last two years.

I transfered to UVU a few years ago to study Psychology. I became disilusioned from it, but finally found my way back. My plan is to get my Batchelors Degree through Weber State University, then go to Grad School for a Masters Degree. Eventually I would like to get my Doctorite.

As a career, I would like to work as a Clinical Counselor, emphisizing on recovery from pornography and other addictions. I feel like that I could do the most good in that field, and what would be most enjoyable.

Wish me luck!
