I am a college graduate :)
It is crazy to think that after about 17 years of school I am finally done! ... for now. I do plan on attending graduate school but I am taking a year or two off to work, gain experience, and earn money to pay for it.
I am currently on my 20th and 21st foster pups- Aztec and Rugrat (I didn't pick their names, but I call them little boy and big boy or just the boys. Aztec is about 1/3 bigger than Rugrat). The top 2 are Rugrat and the bottom 2 are Aztec.
Two weeks ago I was offered a full-time job- My position is Youth Counselor and I will be working in a group home for teenage girls (13-18), it will be a straight 3 days for 60 hours plus a 3 hour treatment team meeting sometime during the week. If I work any hours above 63 I get paid overtime, I also get paid for the training I need to go to before I can start at the group home.
Here is some information about the program:

I will probably keep looking for other jobs because the youth counselor job does not pay that well and I don't know if I will like the working 3 days straight instead of a 9-5 job.
