1. I've really loved working, weirdly enough. And my emotional/mental health has improved SO much in the last 4 months that I've been working, which in turn makes me a better mom. I always thought I just wanted to be a homeschooling, stay at home mom for the rest of my life... and currently that doesn't appeal to me at all. I still want to have 5+ kids and if I were able to homeschool them, that would be awesome... But I also want to be a working mom and create a comfortable and happy life for my kids. Not that staying home makes an unhappy life... but I have been happier when working, and it's made for a happier home life and a happier Milo. It's just been really good.
2. So with that. I don't just want to work a menial, entry-level desk job for the rest of my life. I want like a Real Job with a salary and flexible hours and maybe even a creative aspect. And my degree could definitely just happen to land me the perfect job. That's definitely possible. But I feel like I'll have such a better shot at what I want to do if I further my education. Specifically and MBA because I'd like to be in a businessy-administrative setting, I think. Like dream job would be like an artistic director or marketing manager of like, a symphony or theatre or something.
3. Andrew is fairly passionate about the law school thing right now. And just thinking about those student loans STRESSES ME OUT so bad omggg But also, we don't want him to have to work while he's in law school, since that's such a huge undertaking. So if I can get an MBA online while we're working and then get like a super good job to help us get through law school.. that would be so huge.
4. Andrew is interested in copyright and entertainment law. His dream has always been to have his own record label or production company. And with his talents and a strong knowledge in copyright law and with my business degree.. we'd be like a frickin power couple. Like, in an ideal dream world we could maybe start our own record label?? And how cool would that be?? We've already been talking about it to some extent, because Andrew is already recording so many people and we have the connections to reach a fairly big audience... but we would have to hire someone to do all the businessy stuff for us... which we super can't afford right now. Anyway, at the very least this would give us the tools to do what we want. And if we end up not doing it, that's cool too. We'll make happiness out of what we're given.
5. I know too many people whose husbands have died or just randomly up and left- and OBVIOUSLY I don't plan on that ever happening... but it's so important to me that if I end up as a single mom, for whatever reason, that I am more than capable of taking care of my family. And not just like, scraping by. I want us to be comfortable. I love the degree I got, and I think it's important that I majored in what I love because it's the only way I managed to push through school and finish. But now my goals are different and the things I care about are different and I just want to be ready for whatever. I don't just want to depend on my husband forever, and frankly I don't want that stress on him forever either.
Basically I just want to give my family the best chance at a comfortable life, no matter the circumstances.. and I feel like me getting an MBA is a really good shot at that. I'm not like exceptionally passionate about business or anything, but I wouldn't hate it, and I could absolute DO it. So yeah. That's where we're at. Looking into grad schools for me. Which is CRAZY. Honestly I was so deadset on being done forever... but I want for myself and I want more for my family. We'll see how it goes.
