Why Do I have to Get a Stinking Masters!!?!?

OK so I know I should be all about the pursuit of higher education, but I am not. I am feeling almost forced to go back to school. I mean I spent four years getting a B.S. Why is that not enough. I'm looking for new jobs and most of the ones that are paying any kind of decent money you need a masters degree. Remember the days when finishing high school was " doing something"... Oh those were the days. Back then I could have been the pick of the litter. Now forget it everybody has a derree in something or another. I long for the days were all you had to do is know how to read and you could teach a class full of young people.
Maybe I don't want to go that far back! But darnit I feel like all my hard work has gotten me is enough education to do the same exact job that 5 years ago you didn't even have to have a GED to get, and I'm not being funny. I mean what has changed in those 5 Years? In another 5 years are we going to have to have PhD to do the job I have now. Which I honestly believe they could train chimps to do.
So I guess t keep up with this continuously changing society I have to get a master.

Still it kinda sucks

TODAY IS A GOOD DAY!!

Yesterday was a "woe is me day". Today I'm good. My job still sucks but guess what it's way better than my last job. WAY BETTER!! My fiance woke me up this morning the same way he does every morning, with a kiss and a "I love you". Stinky morning breath and all! What do I have to complain about? Sure someday's my mind will creep to the ex-but he's an ex for a reason, right? Anyway me and my fiance are really good together. So today is no comlplaints day. Tomorrow is my last day of work before the weekend, and I'm stoked!! Oh and somebody left me a comment! When I started this Blog I really didn't anticipate people actually taking the time to respond to my seemingly trivial thoughts. So thanks to Brian who took the time to respond. That was really cool of you and to all that will respond in the future, Thanx for your time and thoughts. I love the free flow of ideas, concepts and feelings. I plan to use my blog as a open to the public, yet really private journal. Where else could something like this happen ?!?! Well good day:)

Where Do I start?

I guess I'll start from the present. I'm 25, a college grad, I have a pretty decent job, a loving family and terrific fiance and I am so lost. I mean I feel guilty because I have so much but still I have never been more confused. I am at a job that is so stressful I sometimes take days off from work just so I don't loose my mind. I listen to other peoples problems all day long. I go home thinking is that person OK. I have even started to have some kind of panic or anxiety attacks. I know it's time to get a new job but... Well there is no but that is it!
My Fiance is the best man in the would he is all a women can ask for and the things you didn't even think to ask. So why do I still have dreams about the man who broke my heart? Why do I still answer his calls? Why didn't I tell him I was engaged until three months later? Why am I not running around planning what should be the wedding of the year?
I feel so stuck between the child I was and the woman I should be. This could be the ranting of a person who has too much to be yappin about. But I cant shake the feeling that I'm not making the right decisions. Do I stay at a job that I hate because it has good benefits and a retirement plan. Do I stay with a man because he is wonderful and stable or wait for the magical fairy tale feeling.
