Trying to go to school for something to improve yourself is never a bad decision! The main problem is to find something you will enjoy doing once you finish. If you are a people person, I would suggest looking for something involving people more than medical billing and coding. I am a special education teacher. I work in an elementary school. There are lots of people who work around kids in all kinds of ways. Many of them don’t require lots of education. It depends somewhat on where you live. If you have any college at all, it can apply toward school related jobs. You could check with a local school district about policy for becoming a paraprofessional, or a bus monitor. You could also volunteer at a school for a short time to find out if this would be a potential option for you. I know lots of people who get energized working with and around kids! Belle
Go for it…. i do not think it is going to be a long school period of time and what you will get out of it will be w/you for the rest of your life.
