A Piece Of Paper

Over twenty four years ago I graduated from Pickens Technical College with a certificate in Respiratory Therapy.   I was so proud to be a CRT (Certified  Respiratory Therapist) and have that piece of paper.  Years went by and I obtained the rest of the qualifications to test for the RRT (Registered Respiratory Therapist) tests.

After taking the test I failed only by four points on each part, butI failed.  Devestating to someone with a 3.4 GPA.  The years went by and in 2011 I became a victim of "that's nwver never going to happen to me" syndrome when I lost my respiratory job.

Now I have started to  repurpose my career and life.   I also have found that a little piece of paper makes a huge difference in the corporate and medical worlds.  It's not enough to have the years of knowledge and experience,  now it's a requirement to have that one piece of paper that says; "You are a real special person who did it our way".

What's wrong with wanting to help other people achieve their dreams?

I want to sleep until I'm done sleeping.  I want to choose how and when I work.  What about you?
