Hating my job led me to this place

At the pace you are going, you should be ready to start UMPI in late October. 

Make a plan and take things one step at a time.

What you said here has stayed on my mind and I am indeed on that track.

I feel like I had a small setback because my Google IT cert awarded me 12 credits with Pierpont, but apparently it's only worth 3 at UMPI. Or so I'm told. So I've had some catching up to do, to reach 60 a second time. Currently at 70. I think in another month I'll be at 90.

While I can get through some courses fairly quickly, some will hold me up a bit, like Spanish.

Have you decided what career you'd like to pursue?

I was interested in Social Media Management. So, over a month I started some channels and created content designed for engagement. It worked; then I made a portfolio. I lost count, but after 60 or so applications I'm a little sour on that idea. I have to call it at some point and move on.

I'm really enjoying UX Design so far. It will be a similar situation, though. Making a portfolio and applying to a ton of jobs and getting ghosted. So I am keeping my expectations in check.

So, I actually don't know what I'll end up doing. I'm trying to not have tunnel vision on one thing when there could be other opportunities around me.
