I started out going to college right out of high school and what I know now, besides my MI, I did not have the maturity, patience, or knowledge to have a clue as to what the heck I needed to do survive and be successful there. I floundered to say the least. For some, this works out really well going right out of school; for many I have met have had a better grasp of things than I did at that age. I was not one of them but the nice thing about life is that you can figure things out at your own pace.

Going back much later, firstly after getting treatment and gaining some experience, has shifted my priorities, focus, and ability to concentrate. I started back at the community college to get back in the swing of things and to get some skills, besides being able to figure out and fine tune out what it was I wanted to do by taking various classes of interest. Also, the advisors and career center at the college were helpful to me in figuring this out as well. Perhaps this would be the place to start, with a class that interests you for a possible career and then go from there.
