Carrie King:  

k Community College for an Associates in the Legal Profession as a Paralegal which was a total waste of time, couldn't get a job doing that. Could have if I could have wasted 2 more years working for free to get extra experience. But I was a single mother of 2 at the time and needed to make money. At least I know a lot about the law now. I would love just being a full-time student if it didn't cost so much because I would love to go into Criminology just so that I could have another degree that would do me absolutely no good. I would like to become a Criminal Psychologist. That is my goal, so when my husband is done with his schooling and my youngest two are a little older that is what I am going to do. (Or at least try) Workplace First I went to school to become a Cosmetologist and I did that for a few years and then moved to Colorado and could not get work doing that because of the clientale thing, I had none because I had just moved there. So I went to school to become a Paralegal. Then I got a job totally differant then what I went to school for because there are so many paralegals out there that there was not enough work. So, I worked for a Japanese company called Yamato Corporation and they made scales, all sorts of scales. I started off as a receptionist and then got promoted to Asst. Manager over the clerical staff and then got another promotion to Customer Service for the Sales Department. It was an Interesting job. But ended up having to quit the job after a couple of years and then worked for AAA for awhile then moved to Texas and became a stay at home mom. Military I myself was not in the Military but my husband spent almost 8 years in the Army and was retired as a Sgt because of Asthma. I didn't mind the military life so much, at least I got to meet some really interesting and wonderful people and go to a couple of places. Hated Texas and we were stationed there for 3 years. But I made a couple of really good friends there. Our next duty station was in Hawaii which I loved but that was when they decided to retire my husband so 10 months was all I got to enjoy. But it was a great 10 months. Being a military wife is difficult, but I think it makes you a lot stronger of a person because your spouse cannot always be there and you have to learn to deal with situations that come up without knowing or being able to get a hold of your spouse. And believe me, things in the military are run a lot differant then in the civilian world. After we came back to Colorado, the adjustment from military life to civilian life was difficult. I wouldn't have changed things though. I had fun meeting new people and going new places and I know my husband enjoyed it.
