Majors and Minors

For those of you who have been reading my blog, following my career, or just reading my published works, you may have guessed or known that I am currently working towards my Bachelor of Arts Degree in English. I attend Ashford University’s online program and it fits perfectly in my already busy schedule of working as a more than full time retail manager and writing books in between. I’m a sophomore and I have already begun my major course studies and after reviewing my already scheduled classes over the next two years, I realized that it was time to really think about my electives and get ready for defining my chosen path.

As I’m sure you already guessed or asked yourself when reading what my major course of study was, people always ask the same question when I tell reveal that I’m an English major: Are you going to teach? After hearing this question over a billion times, it really got me thinking about teaching. My ultimate goal when I started college was to obtain a position where I could stay home with my family and actually get an opportunity to watch them grow up. I still hold that goal. I want to be a better writer, I want to stay home, and I want to make a ton of money to support my family.

I’ve decided to venture down a double minor path with Marketing and Child Psychology, then ending my college career with a Master’s in Teaching with Technology. What the hell do all of these have in common and what the hell am I going to do with all of these majors, minors and a Master’s degree? Well, I figured this way I have my choice and will leave my options open: Teach online grade school, write books at home, or both. I’m betting I’ll do the latter and pursue both opportunities. As a retail manager of over 14 years, I know I have the capabilities of handling groups of people and I also used to teach percussion instruments to students here in Ohio preparing them for state competitions. And well, the books, it’s up to you, the reader to determine my fame or fortune. I love writing and will probably never stop learning about it and practicing it.

I don’t know why I felt the need to share my decisions with random people on a blog post, but I believe that support from my readers is important. I’m asking if you’ve read this post to feel free to leave me comments on the bottom and let me know what you think. I’m always anxious to hear from my readers and fans of my work. And well, that’s you!

So to end this post, I will continue to work on my latest work Book Two: Book of Joel, which I’m hoping will be slated for this upcoming summer. I am almost finished with it and I cannot wait to hear the feedback and comments on the cover. I am infatuated with the art work on the cover and am eager to share it with my fans.

Again,
Thanks for reading and leave me your feedback!

Nicholas.
