It’s not that I don’t want to work the 8 hours. It’s just that I feel limited in my current role and my role isn’t inventive. My role boils down to two things: following compliance and informing clients what they can and cannot do. I want to wake up every day to job and be able to apply skills and produce for others which I feel I cannot do right now without more formal training. I find it ridiculous that an interviewer would question things such as two bachelor’s degrees when there are people out there who have extenuating circumstances and people who are geared toward career change.
I do not have any loans and was lucky enough to earn my first degree debt free. I started out in a community college too before transferring to a university. So a financial burden would not be a pressing issue.
