Back to School


I hope the term "its never too late" has some truth to it. Cause I, Kelly, returned to school today. I have known for a long time that I should continue my schooling but have always thought of a reason, no matter how irrelevant, not to. So I did what I have done with many other things in my life which is don't think, just do.


I am enrolled at Argosy University located in Draper. I have always struggled with larger schools having so many programs that is seems like they choose quantity over quality. Argosy only has two focuses, Psychology and Business. It will take just as many credits to get the degree but more courses are targeted toward my degree rather than broad classes that every student of every program has to take.


The schooling is quite convenient because most courses are online and/or online. You choose what works for you and if you struggle you can go to campus. This works great for me 'cause I am still working full time while I go to school full time.


So what do I want to do in Psychology? After I get my bachelors degree, I will get my masters in Marriage/Family Counseling. Then if I still have the stamina, I will get my PhD in Organizational Psychology. So if all gos to plan, I will have the credentials to be a private counselor and also make a living working with multiple corporations to improve their companies work morale.


So wish me luck.
