I have all the pre-requisite done for nursing (AnatomyI&II, Biology, ect...). I looked into the PA programs and USF in tampa was going to start one in 2015 but withdrew their provisional accreditation application. There are lots of nursing programs and a few PA programs available at private schools in my area. However they are very expensive (50k-100k) and I rather attend a regionally accredited college.
I will look into the VA and Red Cross. The VA was at my alma mater recently for a career fair.

I became employed with my current company after high school in 1995. I'm a manager and make decent income for the area I live ($65k). It provides for the basic and some extra. I have a wife and a daughter. My wife works part-time but that income is mainly for her to send back to family in the Philippines. I hate my Management position, but it is retail so it is either be a manager or make $8 an hour. I became very inactive in the JW religion at 18 and completly out at age 22. Leaving at an early age allowed me to explore a more normal life and therefore I did earn a Bachelors in Business at a state university.
I want to pursue a career in nursing. My college offers an accelerated BSN program that would only take 15 months. However it is highly competitive (500 applicants and they accept 30). The college also offers a MAT in special education for those with degrees in other fields. My father was a school teacher for 30 years and now has a comfortable retirement. The problem as most know is teachers make very little. In fact even with a Masters degree in a needed teaching field (Special Education, Math, Science) the starting pay is only $38,000 in my state. In some adjacent counties it is as low as 33k. The likely hood I would be accepted on my first application to the nursing program is remote. I really want a new career and in a field where I can help people. I'm just nervous to quit a job I held for 19 years that supports my family even though I hate every aspect of the position.
Anyone else made a career change and face similar anxieties?

I liked them all but my favorite was the TNG because I was 11 when it came out and it came on when I got off school.
TNG was basically them policing the area but they had Tasha Yar and Deanna Troi which was great for a preteen JW boy.
DS9 they just sat there.
The original, voyager, and Enterprise they actually explored new systems.

I'm not a music buff but it kinda of sounds like the style of Josh Groban.

I see a major problem with this board game.... The question cards will be wrong within a year or perhaps less when "new light" "adjusted knowledge" is released. Then the game will be apostate material.

What Happened to the Religion I Left in 1995?
by JoshJeffries injosh here, new to the board.
glad to know this site is here.. i would not be writing this if it were not 2014. i was a ministerial servant and regular pioneer who left the jehovahs witnesses back in 1995/96, around that time.
i left suddenly, didnt fade away, just left when something clicked one day in my head during the morning shower and made me realize this religion wasnt true.

I left in 1995 too. I was young and recently graduate highschool. If I stayed trapped in the religion I wouldn't have a college education, a good job, a home, and a retirement fund. I more than likely would be working part-time while pioneering if I stayed in.

by ADJUSTMENTS ingb member and so called "annointed" person geoffry jackson is caught red handed on video doing some worldly dancing and sexual gyrating (they have spoken against such manner of dancing on several occasions) with a woman who is not his wife!!!
i can only imagine what they do off camera now!!!.
i would not have even considerd doing such a thing on the dance floor with a woman, especially if it was not my wife, and i'm not even one of the so called "annointed" smh!!!

Reading the title I expected to see something outrageous. What I saw was nothing out of the ordinary. Anyone outside of the JW religion or not having any experience with it would think this post to be quite strange. However being raised in it and knowing that his dancing, though poorly, is nothing to get worked over, but would be condemn by most elders. In fact there has been countless articles and special talks on this sort of activity.
Overall this video will have little impact on most witnesses or non-witnesses as it comes across as harmless. If he was grinding her or other dancing then it would be different.
