SO sorry you’re going through all of this right now...but hopefully it will be a turning point to take your career in a new and better direction. I’m agreeing with Laura...going back to school may be a great option right now. Maybe just scale way back on your lifestyle and work part time somewhere while you’re getting training.
Part time jobs don’t always pay a whole lot, but since you live in Texas and because you’ve been on the road a lot you’re probably aware of the Buccee’s chain. A new one was just built close to my office and “igh” (please forgive my use of “igh” for the pronoun referring to myself that sounds the same...”igh” as in the word “sight”....igh’m having to use that spelling pattern because something has gone weird with my cell phone and when igh try to type the single letter that sounds like “igh” it comes out looking like this...I?...so annoying!)
Anyway...igh saw where they pay around $17 an hour...and it seems like it would be a fun place to work. Might be something to check out.
If you do decide to go back to school ask a lot of questions and do a lot of research to get the best deal...and make sure the graduates of whatever program you’re interested in have been able to get jobs.
It’s not hard to get a school loan...and since you’re ex-military you probably have the best deal ever in that department but obviously you’ll want to make sure you get what you pay for. Going to school and working part time will give you more control over your schedule than a full time job which would be helpful while you are still healing.
Ok...that’s probably enough of me being Little Miss Fix it...but ithis life change does seem tto be a great opportunity for you to get trained for something that you can do in your older years.
