So the blog challenge this week at 2 Peas is "Something nobody knows about me is..."
I like to think I'm a pretty mysterious gal, so coming up with just one thing nobody knows was kind of difficult. Not only that, but I had to think of one thing that was not widely known that I am still comfortable revealing here.
So the big secret is... I still don't know what I want to be when I grow up. I went back to school a year ago, ten years after I first entered college. The first time around, I studied video production and, while I was good at it, I got burned out quickly. It's a very competitive industry, and it's hard for a woman to make a name for herself. (Believe me, this is not an excuse. I hate to pull the "gender" card. It's simply the truth.)
This time around, I am majoring in Financial Services, and upon completion, will be ready to sit for the Certified Financial Planner (R) exam, which is a very big deal in the finance world. Truth is, while I love the work that I do now, working as an investment consultant for a privately held financial firm, I am terrified that I might be right back here in another ten years.
I guess it's a good thing I'm usually up for change! I would love to have a successful career in this field; I can only hope the industry embraces me, too!

About Me
- Sarah*Jane
- What is a PRG?? PRG is something someone started calling me long ago - almost in another lifetime. It stands for "Puerto Rican Goddess." Most days lately, I just feel like a Pretty Regular Girl. So this blog will journal my days as a PRG. Some days that will mean my adventures as a Puerto Rican Goddess; other days I'll just be a Pretty Regular Girl. I hope you can find entertainment in both.

Good luck in school and good for you for going back! You'll figure it out.
HUGS!
Good for you going back to school. Even though I don't know you - I'm proud of you. I think it's wonderful. Oh - and your haircut is adorable.

I go through the same thoughts/worries in my mind. I went straight from high school to college to grad school. Although I don't regret it and believe education is never wasted...sometims I really want a change. But student loans hold me back....
Good luck on your exam! And in 10 years...maybe you'll find your next dream!
I love that you are a work in progress. I think when we stop striving for somethingnew and different we get bored and II do anyway) depressed. tFS
