Bummer

You are still very young. It's not unusual for some people to change directions several times in a life time. Quite often a person will go to school intending on a certain career and then start doing it and realize it's not for them. So they change direction and start something new.

One thing you might be able to do is job shadow for a day or two. Many jobs allow this. Also check with a hospital or other medical center, quite often you can get raining and an internship without going back to school.

I would really investigate the field of sonography to see if you need to go to 'school' for it. I would be extremely cautious with trade schools(if that is indeed what you are looking at)They are oftentimes as huge ripoff. Maybe your community college offers some classes in it.

Also, what about trying to freelance in IT troubleshooting. specializeng in vets. It is worth looking into. There are a ton of vets out there and if you can come in and be an IT resource for them at a better cost I bet you could get business. The good thing is there is really nothing to lose by trying this as there wouldn't be much cash outlay. IF it doesn't work then you are only back where you started.

If you are serious about wanting a job...research companies in your area that you would fit with and cold call/email them. Have an awesome cover letter and resume ready for this. This is how I got 4 of my 5 interviews and my job one month ago. It works.

Oh..added to say I don't like my job already. Not because of the people or work...I'm just not meant to sit in front of a computer all day. Why I became an engineer ill never know :). I'm 36 and have no idea what I want to do with my life....

I went back to school at Cvtc at the age of 34. I graduated from there almost 2 years ago now with an IT degree. Haven't found a job in the IT field yet, but really haven't been looking much.

So no, you are not the only one.

It's still the first quarter for you-and it could be a whole lot worse-hang in there!

Don't feel bad about knowing what you want to do I still don't and I am almost at the end of the working career.

Sonography sounds great. What can you do with it? Can you use it at a vet's office? Can you use it in an OB office? Look outside the box with this. If you can use it in an OB office you will always have a job as women do have babies.

You will find your way and you will balance life of working maybe part time and being home. I could not be a total at home mom unless I had something to do for me even when the kids were little. The working was for me and it showed the kids that moms could do something other be home and be productive members of society.

Good luck to you and have a good holiday season.
