Well, you all know about the latest development with school. That accredidation is up in the air and I won't really begin until April (or May!) if we are approved. Which has me in cycles of panic attacks, identity crises, fear, and anxiety.
And once again, I find myself at a junction in life. Where I have options. Choices. Turns. Decisions to make. And if you know me at all, you know how much I detest making decisions like this -- they make me so nervous, so fearful that I'll make the wrong decision.
So I've decided to air my laundry and list all my potential choices:
- Take the GRE and attempt to get into a Physical Therapy Doctorate program (which would be incredibly unlikely as I don't have anything on my resume that particularly sets me apart as an excellent candidate for PT school)
- Try to get into another PTA program. There are programs in Greensboro, Charlotte, and Asheville. I don't really want to live in any of those cities though. I grew up in Greensboro and thus have no real desire to return. Charlotte is nice, but it's entirely too big for me and has a higher cost of living. Asheville might be nice, but it's in the mountains which I would love, but could potentially be too close to Boone which is where my ex lives and thus where I'd like to avoid.
- Look into an online masters program in health promotion or something. However, this isn't exactly what I want to do with my life. I want to go into physical therapy. So I fear this would be just a waste of time/money.
- Focus on getting certified as a Personal Trainer, Health Fitness Specialist, or Group Exercise Instructor. This would make me more marketable for gym jobs, but again, I want to be a physical therapist. Personal training and group fitness is more of my fun job; my extra money job. So I fear that focusing on this would also be a bit of a waste of time and money (these certifications run about $500 a piece).
- Twiddle my thumbs and wait and see what happens with the PTA program at Craven. Did I mention how impatient I am?
So yeah... Those are my options. Ugh.
