Stalled.

Third week of January. Fourth? Third. Whatever. Not getting out of house much. After a fabulous lunch/coffee up near the airport, I came back on 280, and poked down the side streets by Crystal Springs Res. and tried to hit some stores in Pala Olto (closed on Mondays.)

Went and talked with my Mom, who floored me. After asking about progress, and listening carefully to my detailed listing of what's up, she told me she'd fund the teacher's certificate if I wanted that.

Wow. Just...wow. That's like $20K, minimum...at Santa Clara. Wow.

I don't need her to fund it, I just need to either go for it, or go back into the sales game with the intent to win. And I can't decide which.

This is from someone who wishes I did that credential thing years ago, but was always distracted by things in the present. I'm not willing to work days, and do school at night for a few years to make it happen (for a job that pays less than what I make now).

Go get the credential! When you are searching for direction, the best place to be is in school, then you can make choices afterwards year by year to satisfy your mood.

My father's biggest disappointment in me was that I didn't take up the family business. He said it keeps you young. Many teachers in my family for several generations.
