Well I'm at a crossroads here. I like the company I work for, I love the people I work with. However, I'm stuck here at the receptionist position with little hope of moving to the department I want to move to, which is Human Resources. It is a small, 2 person department here and there's no sign of it expanding in the near future. There isn't another department I'd be interested in moving to. I had previously bounced from one unsastisfying job to another for quite a few years and have finally settled here. I don't want to keep uprooting myself but I am so unsatisfied with what I'm doing. I have already been to college and gotten a BA in Psychology, but HR is the field I'm really interested in. There is an online program at Drexel that I could take if I want to add another $50,000 onto my current student loans. My boyfriend and I are currently living with my mom for a few years to save for a house, so I'm wondering if I'll be able to afford repaying a second loan once I have a mortgage. I'm not looking to you all to give me an answer, because I know you can't. I just needed to vent my frustrations a little. I know I could get a much better job with the HR degree, but that would involve uprooting myself to another company again...which would, in turn, affect my getting a mortgage since they want to see a solid 2 years or more with your current company. I could enroll and start in December if I choose to, I just can't seem to make the decision. I would love to continue working where I am, there just isn't the opportunity I need.
