Back to School

Going back to college after twenty years from graduating the first time was an eye-opening experience. An online graduate program offer through my alma mater, Pittsburg State University. I am getting ready to graduate with a MS in Human Resource Development. Canvas, Discussion Boards, Zoom classes, and web cams-oh my. 

I have not been posting about my life or things that interest me because I have been busy with homework, my son's senior year, and COVID. You would think, staying home and social distancing would have given me plenty of time to write, but I work in health care, so I was considered essential and was working, thankfully, the entire time.

Wanting to work towards my goal of being a life-long learner has led me down an interesting path. I have had various jobs in retail, executive search, marketing, education, and now health care. Back in high school, when I took aptitude tests, the results were always teaching. However, that didn't interest me. I was unsure of what I wanted to do, so I went to business school, knowing this would lead me places. 

I started working in Human Resources over five years ago and felt a belonging. I became a member of the Pittsburg State Human Resource Development Advisory Council. When I wanted to grow in the HR field, I wasn't sure what area I preferred. So I enrolled in the HRD program. I highly recommend this program. It was nothing like I thought, it is so much more. I have completed a research project that I could work to get published, an entire training program from start to finish that I will be implementing later this month. 

I found what I like, finally, and yes, it is teaching. However, it is teaching adult learners and in the work setting. A career path I never envisioned, but I believe I will love.
