midlife crisis already?

I'm too young for this. Seriously. Who has a midlife crisis at 32?? Does this mean I'm only going to live to 65?

It's my own fault, i graduated college and jumped into the working world with nary a thought to what i really wanted to do with the rest of my life. All i knew was that i wanted to MAKE MONEY. I was tired of living the life of a poor college student, just give me a job that allows me to get a place fo my own, pay my bills and still ahve money left over for happy hour.

And that's exactly what i got.

So here i am 7 years later working at a job that i have no passion for. Don't get me wrong, i mean it's ok, and i am thankful that in this time of economic strife i even have a job. But there is no way i can see myself doing this for the next 30+ years.



And so i embarked upon the journey of finding my true calling.

At first i was surprised by how easily everything seemed to fall into place. I was told about an upcoming position that would be growing in the school system, did a little research, discovered that my BA actually might be good for something, and signed up for the few missing classes that would get me certified as a SLPA.

This is gonna be cake!



Then everything fell apart. The Terminator cut budgets and my schoool cancelled their program. Adn now here i am, once again looking for my path. Somehow I knew it wasn't going to be this easy...
