Question
I completed 6 years in the Army National Guard, I have an A.S. in Human Services, and I have just completed my B.A. in Organizational Management. I am tired of going to school.  I want a good job so I can enjoy life. The problem is I just moved to a new state (lost) and I do not know what I can or can not do with what I have.  If I have to go back to school then I will but I prefer not to.  HELP!

Answer
Hi Sammi,

Thanks for writing.

You have plenty of experience and education to do well in a career.  There are lots of people who have succeeded in business with much less than you have because they found something that they were passionate about.  

You obviously have some competencies since you  achieved your degrees and completed 6 years in the Army National Guard.  If you are burned out on school, then that is fine.  Use this time to discover your career skills, abiliities, and passions.
