Hi All,

I have not been on the board much recently, but I have some good news to share!!

I've had two job offers so far this month--one in accounting, which I turned down; the other in healthcare, which I accepted!! It's an entry level job, but completely different from anything I've ever done, so it will be challenging for me. It will also put me on the path to getting into nursing school (something I've been considering for over a year now). I'm really looking forward to getting started, and am so glad/relieved/grateful that I will be working where I am really needed each day, instead of just marking time behind another desk.

I've accumulated quite a bit of debt since being out of work (voluntarily) since May. But I sat down and worked with my new numbers this weekend, and it's not anything I can't reverse in 18-36 months, depending on how agressive I decide to be with my payback plan.

Woo!
BK

Congrats! That is great! It's such a wonderful sense of accomplishment after you've been out of work (I was there 2 years ago).

I hope you love the job!
