Patricia's Story
Hello again,
Ok, this is my story. After HS I went to Katherine Gibbs - my father insisted I become a secretary to "get my foot in the door of the business world." I did that for a few years and decided I hated it, working for lawyers especially. Then I went into Investor Relations for a now-nonexistent Levi retailer. That was a very good experience. Then I went to J. Jill for a short while - before they even went by that name and before the retail stores. Then I went into various account manager/customer service roles for the next several years. In between all of that I did go back to school and got my Associate's and Bachelor's, but I've decided that the business world sucks.

ingle/career-oriented/school focus years I managed to have a good time - traveled for business and pleasure, became a great skiier and kickboxer and finally met my wonderful husband.
So.....I just got laid off a few weeks ago, and I'm not sure what my next move is. I'm 6 months pregnant with my second daughter, so this is quite a downer. I am contemplating going back to school but I will need to do it full time days for the career choice in healthcare. Has anyone done this? I really could use some advice.
Other than that, I am happily married, and we have one beautiful daughter already, named Karina. We own our house and have good families and friends. I hope things improve with this economy real soon.
Anyway, happy holidays to everyone and I'll update again soon.
Take Care
