Alright, I've just completed the first week at my first real job at HMS as an insurance verifier! It's an outbound call center environment verifying eligibility of Medicaid/ Medicare members to receive government health insurance. I am working there through a temporary agency named Express Employment Professionals. It's no where close to what I wanted to do once I graduated from college (not going to go into details because this is online); and the pay is poverty level ($11 per hr). I don't think I would ever do a call center job again. I just need the experience so I will try to stay here for 6 months to 1 year before I change things up.
I need to seriously decide what career(s) that I am going to pursue soon. I thought I was going to law school but I don't know. Honestly, I'm open to anything professional (teacher, doctor, nurse, lawyer, computer scientist, physician assistant, etc) as long as there is relative job security, a very formal work environment, and high pay (OK take teacher off of that list LOL!). But it takes a while to prepare for graduate school/certification/etc: If I decide medical I would need to study for the MCAT; for law I need to study for the LSAT; for physic. assist. I need to study for the GRE; nursing and comp. sci. require prerequisite courses and 2nd undergrad degrees; all paths require lots of prep; ......hmmmmmmm but I don't know what I want to do.... I need to decide soon!
Anyway, I hate being broke so right now I'm just waiting for my first paycheck (this Friday). Just keep reminding myself that I am working this crappy job for the paycheck and the experience on my resume... and it's only three 12-15 hr days a week (Thursday-Saturday)...
*sigh* I wonder what I'm going to be doing in 5 years from now....
