wildcat’s wanderings

“Welcome! You have been approved for admission to the College of Lake County.”

Break time was far too long and it’s been far too costly in terms of trying to repay student loans without having finished up with something, so it’s time to go back and get those loans back into deferment, decide what I want to be when I grow up, and get it done. Enough already.

I’m clueless as to how I’m going to fit it in timewise (and money wise since I’m sure I’ll have to pay tuition and books up front for now till everything gets ironed out and officially back in deferment. Why do I always wait till the last minute to do shit?) but I gotta do it. I have goals, and sitting on my ass for 2 years, not taking classes, and marching in place at that damn job I hate ain’t getting them realized.

I want something that I can streamline into a work from home/freelance type job once I reach retirement age cause I know I ain’t gonna be able to retire.

I know I want to do something with writing. I’m good at it, and I love it. I was surfing the other day and came across a Yahoo article about ‘Best Paying Do-Gooder Jobs’ and one was grant writing. I could do that, with a little knowledge of how to write them. That’s something I could do now on the side and get a portfolio built up, then after retirement, do it till I croak, get paid well for it, and could even do it for non-profits and feel good about who I was helping get funding for.

Hells yeah.

So if anyone out there has some useful tips for me to point me in the right direction with this, stop lurking and start commenting, ffs… I don’t bite.

I’ve only been known to nibble a little.
