If I would have had to pay for the trip out of my own pocket, I wouldn't have gone either. There isn't any technical communication training that I want badly enough at this point in my career to justify paying for it myself. But of course, I'm willing to continue learning for my job, so there was value to me going on their nickel. If I decided to go back to school for real, I would consider a career change to nursing or physical therapy, although I would still do whatever tech writing I could on the side to keep money rolling in. I'm starting to feel burned out by spending the last 18 years sitting at a desk staring at a computer screen. Careers that would keep me physically active and in more contact with people are starting to appeal to me. My husband and I are raising chickens and growing almost an acre of blueberry bushes, which is fun, but that's missing the people part of it. Has anyone else had any similar urges? Are you what you wanted to be when you grew up? Donna - CONFIDENTIAL- This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential, and may also be legally privileged.
