I should also be a big girl and actually try to improve my math skills, nursing or no!
There are no roles that I want to do available where I am.
This is me, too. There are more jobs I could get if I were in NYC. Even remote freelance work has changed a lot as publishing has changed, though. And a lot of the copyediting/editing that needs doing now is more business and academic oriented, which is not me.
My strengths are Regency England, meet-cutes, and metaphors for having sex, none of which are in great demand in the wider world, sadly.
I looked at getting a medical coding certificate from a comm college to get my foot in the door with medical careers, but opted to just stay in admin field for a bit. Next job needs to have a position I can grow into.

I'M looking for someone strong in these fields, but unfortunately, I can pay a mere pittance.
I kind of hate to recommend this book, because the concept of it irritates me so much, but Danica McKellar has a series of books for tween girls that's supposed to explain math in a way that girls can understand. Unfortunately, this largely means making everything into something to do with makeup or friends or boys, but if you can roll your eyes through that, the actual explanations are pretty good. They go through the math from grades 5-8, roughly, which most studies have shown is the point where Americans' math scores tend to plummet.
ha, Amy!
It's also weird to be looking at college programs while your kid is looking at them, you know?
No, it's a great idea! Srsly

My daughter has no interest in makeup or boys, but maybe she can squint and pretend they are references to hobbits.
Thanks for the encouragement, everybody. I'm going to look into some programs this weekend.
I'd go in a different direction too, but I'm not brave enough to pay my dues twice.
Which means I'm oh, SO, fucked.
What's your favourite grilled cheese sandwich recipe? Like, recipe you have, as opposed to having ordered somewhere?
I want to do something different, but I don't know what. That is a bit of a problem.
Yes. Or more, I don't want to choose something only to discover it was the wrong thing, so I have to be absolutely certain.
Everything different that I'd like to do requires going back to school. Which is fine, except for cost and time, and needing to actually make an income *now*.
Yes. I read Julia Child's memoir and was inspired that she was a late starter. Now I only have to find a husband in the foreign service to support my learning to cook in France.
I feel you. I am a bit stuck in my current job situation and have been contemplating becoming an heirloom apple farmer.
Can I be your official pie baker?

Oh, I'd like to look into this program as well!
