Ay, what is wrong with me? - School & Work

LOL, could I be more of a spaz? I want to do it all!

Ok so I got my Bachelor of Arts in Liberal Studies with an Emphasis on Elementary Education and Minor in Spanish. I decided I didn't want to be a teacher anymore the last semester of my studies but completed my degree anyway, this was at San Diego State University.

Last year I decided to go for my Masters in Business Administration at University of Phoenix. I took one class and decided that major just wasn't for me. I looked around and found National University and found a major that sounded like something I would like. So in the summer I started working on my Masters of Public Administartion. I've taken 2 classes so far but had to put it on hold because of the stuff going on with my job and finances. So because classes are so expensive at professional schools like these, I decided to check out San Diego State again. I didn't really want to go back there, I"m done with the regular college environment, BUT it really is so much cheaper so at this point I'm willing to explore that option. So I start looking into continuing my Masters of Public Administarion there, which they have a great program for. But as I"m looking through all the different Masters programs SDSU has, I find like 2-3 others that I might be interested in now instead

. I feel like such a spaz not being able to just concentrate on one thing, and just when I think I have it figured out, something else comes a long that interests me also, LOL. Ack. So now I'm looking into:

Master of Arts in Communicative Disorders and Certification in Bilingual Speech-Language Pathology

Master of Arts in Latin American Studies

Master of Science in Child Development

OR

continue working on Masters of Public Administration

I SWEAR, at the pace I'm going I'm not going to have a set career until I'm 40 unless I can makeup my damn mind!

at least you have some that interest you!

maybe you should think about what the jobs entail that you'd get coming out of the masters degrees and do it that way.

I don't know why but Masters of Public Administration seems more like you

sounds like me, but I'm not as far as you are.

I feel the same way. I had to just choose something and stick with it. I'm always thinking about getting more degrees. I'd like to get my PhD in social work, but I'm also interested in getting a masters in music (maybe music history) and a masters in music therapy.

I think I just need to go to lots of seminars to fulfill my educational cravings.
