As many of you know, I am a former IT worker/trainer who has been stuck in various dead end part-time retail positions since 2009. Last week, I started another part-time job in a deli, and earlier today when I asked the dead end position to accommodate my deli schedule, they let me go...
So later in the day, I receive a great offer for a full-time entry level supervisory position, once again in retail, which I graciously accepted, and the talk has already begun about what I can do beyond the store level. This national chain would require a Computer Science degree to get into their district NOC, is offering tuition reimbursement (from a "brick and mortar" school, so WGU is out) for me to pursue that as an option.
I am intent on keeping both jobs, as expenses (child support, defaulted student loan, etc) have mounted over the past four years, and I would be putting in roughly 56 hours per week. Add to this college and studying for various certifications, and I have a pretty full plate.
I know that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to and would like to thank the members of this forum for their support and encouragement
