Hello all just wanted to get some perspectives on what you some of you would do in my position😛
So I've been in school the past 4 years with no degree, went from a uni(didn't do well at all) to a cc and skipped around a lot of majors to see what I wanted, I thought computers where my calling in life but after working at an internship I kind of realized I hated it. I always thought about physical therapy but never thought I could realistically get there, but now after some life changes I am set on doing that for my future
My predicament now is I have a job offer that pays very nicely without a degree, great benefits, and promised hours.
If I take this job it would not allow me to go to school full time and prove to admissions that, despite my shoddy academic career so far, I am able to handle pt school and the rigors it would throw my way. I'd be able to take 3 classes at most. Sure I could work for a while and save money, but my gut is telling me prolonging finishing a bachelors and becoming competitive is going to truly hinder my future goals. That's just my gut talking though.
I guess I'm just looking for input from others perspectives on what I should do
Take the job, and possibly put off my dream as a PT for a long while, or do it now and stay at this dead end job I have been at since highschool, (5 freakin long years) and climb the hill of fixing some poor grades, doing pre reqs and finishing my degree in 4 years?
I'm just a 24 year old clueless guy caught in the crossroads of life and looking for guidance. Any input is appreciated 🙂
