work, school and life

Over the years I have struggled and wrestled to find a career that would suit me. It would be something I enjoy, find intriguing, growth is available, and most importantly would allow me to be with my family during the nights. That includes not bringing home work with me. The second was to be home on the weekends to go to church and to serve in callings i am placed in. And third, to provide the things in life that we can enjoy the things God sees fit to give us. This is all future tense of course. I don't have kids, I don't have a wife, a house, a car, Heck,  I don't even have a college degree.

I am 22 Years old, with some work experience, A High School Diploma, and 300 Dollars to my name. Let me tell you how stressful and unsatisfying it is to be in this position. Yeah, I know, there are people worse off than me. But that's the thing, I'm part of the group that people who are way ahead of me reference to when they say,  "well there is someone less fortunate than you." IM THE ONE LESS FORTUNATE!! It is this very thing that makes life difficult for me to face. I face it though.

My goal is be a dentist. I decided I would do it,  well because I decided i would. It met the requirements I listed above and I chose to pursue it. Now back to real life here, I have just about finished my first full year in College. With my choice in school I will be able to receive an applied Associates degree by 2017. But that is a non-transferrable degree. Universities will only accept the credit hours they want. I may have to take the same classes again only because I didn't get an Associates of Science. Thus I will have to spend one more semester at the college. Thus obtaining a 2 year, 4 semester degree, in 5 semesters and 2 1/2 years.
