When the economy was still in good shape, I did not quit my callcenter job while studying. I was able to get through the stressful situation after three years. Now that the global recession is still pulsating and with the sky high cost of my maintenance medications, quitting my job is not an option. One thing is for sure though, I do not want to die in the callcenter. I want to pursue my nursing career and bring it to a higher level. SO with the demands of my fulltime job and my basic skills training getting into Allied health institute is definitely a dandy.
