Universities everywhere offer lots of open studies courses (including a lot of art history) Just think when you are done paralegal school you can take an evening course or two, and only the courses that you are really interested in. Most degrees require that you take all kinds of courses that you have zero interest in...Educational policy studies....History of childhoodthepedallerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639535351781848067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7175594498092654444.post-34481743464149979462010-04-15T14:38:26.881-06:002010-04-15T14:38:26.881-06:00I agree with you to some extent, that we don't...I agree with you to some extent, that we don't have to be in love with our jobs as long as they allow us to live the life we want. But on the other hand, I think the "do what you love" message is so important too. At the same time, high school grads need constant support to define what it is they love and plot a path to get there. There are so many non-traditional paths out there to create a job that may not yet be sitting, waiting to be filled.<br />There are some days when I just want to be able to go home and not think about what the next story is going to be or whether I fact-checked everything accurately. But now, there are even more days when I love the feverish pace of interviewing and writing, designing and copyediting. And of course, sharing a little R&R with the newsroom crowd afterward.<br /><br />I'm happy that you're focusing on making your dreams become reality, though, because even if it's a struggle, it will be worth it eventually.Zoey (Vegedible)https://www.blogger.com/profile/03741844250909743791noreply@blogger.com
