Bonus question: Do you actually use it now at the job you’re at, lol?

I was an English major, so yes for that—except I was a Creative Writing concentration. Humph

Not a problem! Keep in mind though that if you want to work on LI that their Child Protective Services is a different entity than my agency. I don't know much about how to look into employment with them but i'm sure they are in need of people just as we are!

It's definitely not all it's cracked up to be lol...it was hard but I was definitely in the best shape of my life at that time! In addition to all my liberal arts classes I had about 5 hours of ballet and modern classes a day monday through friday starting at 8:00 in the morning...my body was definitely not ready to start dancing that early lol I was still in sleep mode

Re: Speaking of college, what was your major?

I have a BS in elementary ed

I also minored in business...i thought about double majoring but 4 years of college was enough.

After a really bad student teaching experience, I turned to the corporate world. Now i'm a buyer.

I have no clue what I want to do with my life since I am currently working temp. I'm always on the lookout for something new.
