Questioning your path
#8
cookderosa Wrote:of course you can return to school, but before you do, consider that you can learn a language without going to school ($$) or quitting your EEG program.

I don't know anything about EEG work, but I know that in life, 8 weeks isn't very long. I'm sure there is more to learn once you have your foundational skills down. You might say that you don't know what you don't know (yet). If you want my opinion, it would be to consider sticking it out a little longer. Quitting can happen any time, but resuming can't be. Even if you don't "love" it and it isn't the right passion for you, is it a job that could pay your bills for the next year or two while you discover something more engaging? If you have to work "somewhere" is this field so bad?

EDIT: I want to echo what Linda said. You know, she and I are probably close to the age of your parents, and so age brings perspective (I didn't say wisdom lol) but one wrong assumption I had as a younger person was that I'd get 1 pick- so I'd better pick well. And guess what? You don't get 1 pick, you can pick a new career every few years if you want to. Of course, you get more traction and upward mobility when you stick in the same track, but there is nothing that REQUIRES you to be stagnant! You can do this for a few years and then do something new. It takes time to learn a foreign language anyway- so why not open up a Duolingo account and start today? You can be my Duolingo friend on there- I'm on there studying French. Level 7 baby! hilarious

Thank you. I think you make some really good points. And Duolingo is a great service. Dabbled with it a while back.
