I've been asking that question quite often. It turns out that the Voc-Rehab is connected to the GI Bill, and I would only have a year, at best, of any educational assistance, so the MA is out, as would be any training to do any drug/alcohol counselling (another idea). So, the question remains, "What's next for me?"
It was odd, in a way, in which an idea, one I'd long considered, got brought to the forefront. I was in an orientation for Voc-Rehab, and the guy next to me asked what I used to teach. I told him, and he asked, "Ever consider 'freelance writing'?" Ding!
I enjoy writing, and do it fairly well, why not? I have some personal writing, a series of vignettes, and stuff on the blog, so I have writing samples available, but what to write about? Sports? Hmmm, how would that go? "The Oakland Raiders continued in their 'Commitment to Obsurity' in a 77-3 pasting by the Institute for the Blind..." Nah, too honest.
Maybe politics... "The Attorney General refused to answer questions about his failure to defend the voters of the State, and how that would effect his 'Voter-Approved Tax Hikes'..." Hmm, maybe a little blunt, but it's a good question.
Society? Yeah, right.
Well, knowing me, I'll think of something, or not.
