I got a lot of positive feedback on this one from friends and colleagues. The truth is, climbing the corporate ladder isn’t for everyone all of the time. As I’m learning, personal growth can happen outside the office, and when it does, it can be just as rewarding as big career progress. Make time to set your own goals, rather than conform to expectations, and be sure to assess those goals every once in a while. You might be surprised at what you find.

I actually heard about a certified financial counselor option that I might research in conjunction with some of the stuff I'm doing here. Agreed that keeping current takes effort!

I chose to not go the MBA or MS route. Instead, I've looked to certifications and targeted skills training that can support me where I am and can still be useful where I might go next. It still takes commitment of time and money, but it can be more flexible. Keeping current in a changing world takes effort. It can be difficult for Type -A- people.

I'm glad you realized that before you wound up in school and I'm so glad that you're consciously enjoying this time with the grass between your toes. Knowing the why is so important.

A few months ago I made the decision to accept a job in a state I never thought I would live in. Do I make the money and have the perks I used to have? No. But I am within driving distance of family and friends, which has really enriched my life. I'm waiting to close on my first house within the next two weeks, which is amazing to me after years of moving around and renting. I'm glad to see that you are blogging again! So glad you’re finding the right work/life balance for you.

Grad school is so much different than undergrad. If you go back, go back, throw yourself into it. it is hard but enjoyable. But, if you are not into it, not ready, do not do it. you will be miserable. Go to school because you want to, not because you feel you have too.
