Lettuce discuss this week

Doesn't it look delicious? Not this week but the lettuce of course. We had this with dinner last night now nothing else from our garden is ready for salad we just had the lettuce because I refused to sully it with grocery store produce. Comments were made about how happy we are not to be lettuce farmers because the dirt... Thing 2 wasn't having it.
-My fleece may actually be dry today. It was almost ready a couple days ago but we had an overnight downpour. Hopefully the stink is gone. I need to wet some of it again to make sure it isn't going to reek of barn if it gets wet.
-Summer vacation is in full swing here and I'm loving it.
-I have been trying to figure out what I am going to be when I grow up this week. At almost thirty years of age you would *think* that I would have a clue but I don't. Well I do but it's not feasible yet. I want my masters. I need my masters for my dream job; early intervention or working with autistic kids in a therapeutic setting is my dream. Until then I think I may want to consider an associates then my bachelors then my masters. Obviously that is the order. I am digressing here. Point is I am about to be a junior and can only transfer so many credits to a two year school. So those would be put on the back burner until I went back for my bachelors. The thing is I feel like with a lot of the stuff going on I need to get a degree, work and continue my education. Here's the problem(s);
I live a rural area, there aren't exactly a ton of choices here unless I want to commute rather far. I don't.
My choices feel limited but they aren't.
Human Services; I could get a job without an associates. I know a lot of people that work in that field and they have been offering me employment for a while.
Accounting; I find this mind numbing BUT I am rather good at it and it seems like a more useful associates.
Business; is an associates in this actually good for anything?
Graphic Design; sounds like a lot of fun but are there are any jobs I could get with it? Or would I be struggling working at home?

I don't know. I do know I am running out of time to make a decision.

Help. SOS. Input.

Do any of you have just an associates?

Congrats on the lettuce!

At age 42, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, either, other than someone who doesn't have to work for a living (which doesn't seem to be happening). I have a bachelor's, though I don't use it directly. An English degree sounds helpful for a proofreader, but really it's kind of the reverse: I got an English degree because I'm the sort of person who makes a good proofreader, not that I'm a good proofreader because I got an English degree.

So basically, I have no useful advice for you. But I wish you the best! Consider me support staff, maybe.
