I love math!

It just hits me sometimes.  No, I do not want to be a CPA, or even a general accountant, do accountant functions, work in the accounting field.  Well, maybe the field of accounting, but it has to be something I can feel good about.  No more just running numbers for employers who are only concerned about their bottom line.

I will complete my B.A. in Accounting in January and I am at a crossroads on what I am going to do.  Last year this time I was working 80+ hours a week, going to school full time, and somehow spending [albeit very little] time with my family.  DH hated it.  Given where I worked, the kids did not mind too much.  I was practically running things and I loved the connections I was making with staff and members.  I knew then I no longer wanted to just sit in an office crunching numbers.  I knew then that I could do something more, something more involved.  I never thought of myself as a people person, then all of a sudden I was.  And just as quickly, I was not.

Okay, so I do NOT miss the 80+ hour work weeks.  I love being home, spending time with my family, raising chickens, blogging.  But eventually I will need to start earning an actual paycheck again.  I miss saving money.  This brings me back to my first thought – I love math.  So, what can I do that is fulfilling, involves math, and will help me pay off my student loans.  Yep, this time next year I will have to start paying all of those lovely little loans back.  Must use degree.

Maybe I should do what my mom says.  Ask the right questions, sleep on it, and the answer will come.  Not sure if it will be a dream, an idea, or something I need to be on the lookout to happen.  If anyone has any ideas, I am taking suggestions.  =)
