I’m 31 Turning 32 this year. I currently have a BA in Sociology since 2016 & I’ve worked at various workplaces. The main type of job I work at is education field. I did americorps (1 year) after graduation, then payroll admin for 3 months before going into education.

I was a teacher assistant (sub teacher) for a year for a charter school, then an elementary teacher (2nd, 4th, & 5th) for a year at a private school (came in like dec 2020 then was let go in dec 2021 & the school closed), then on call English tutor for Korean students at their school/homestay program place for 8 months while my 2nd job at the time was a front desk receptionist for a medical billing center. I’m now a daycare teacher since last year oct.

The point I’m making is I do love teaching kids & I love kids but honestly I feel kind of burnt out right now with everything. I wanted to study counseling after graduation but I also wanted to teach for a bit before I do. I still want to do counseling but now it’s like I have other interests. I always wanted to do nursing but at the time I didn’t want to be a stereotype in my family (most cousins are in healthcare & nothing wrong w/it…just wanted something different then). So now my passion for nursing has come back but I still want to do counseling. I want to help kids better one on one & let them know someone cares about them. I also want to have a art therapy program to go with my counseling. For nursing, I want to help people get better. I’m very interested in learning

I also want to join the military or join the peace corps and experience another place besides my hometown. I’ve always wanted to join the military (Air Force). Peace corps is new interest of mine but it fascinates me to go to a new country on my own, experience new culture & meet new people. However I’m also kind of scared cuz it’s a 2 year contract, I’m not sure if I can handle that.

So please help me decide.
