GED results
Ok, it’s day two after my GED tests. I went to the Cascade Campus of PCC where they do the actually GED testing. Here’s my score on the four that are available now.
Language Arts/Reading: 100%
Mathamatics : 98%
Science : 98%
Social Studies : 96%
I’ll be adding the actual number of points when I get the Writing score back. But this is the basics of what I scored. I don’t know, do ya think I passed? *grin*
YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY!
Alright, now what do I do? Well, now I have to take the ASSET test which is the college entrance test. That will determine what level of classes I get. Then I have to actually talk to someone about what I should major in.
I’m a performer and I love all things that deal with music, drama and dance. However, very few people can make a living being a performer, and I don’t have the luxery of allowing myself to suffer for my art. I have children. So, I would like some suggestions from the peanut gallery. Those of you who have been lurking on this site and reading my messed up life, what suggestions would you give for viable job opportunities that you’ve observed in our currant job market? This will give me things to think about while I take the career guidence test.

Hooray!!!! I love happy test scores, if test scores can truly be happy. So, are you looking at two years of college for the A.A/A.S. or are you thinking about doing the long haul for a B.A. or B.S.? This, in my opinion, is the first question you should ask yourself. Especially considering that if you decide to do the B.A./B.S. you can still get the A.A./A.S, but you’ll be prepared with the right transfer credits/classes to continue on. Otherwise you might end up in a program that creates a degree that will basically cause more work when you transfer. Number two - don’t let anybody push you down a path. There’s a set of requirements for the state of Oregon that you’ll have to take no matter where and they’re a great way to take some time and classes and figure out what you’re interested without taking specialized classes that will become elective credits should you change majors down the road. Congratulations Wendi - damn! I don’t know you, but I’m so happy for you! It’s really great to see people taking the plunge and going after something they really want.

Thank you Celina. I do plan on going for four years for my BA/BS degree, seems like you need at least that for the good jobs now-a-days. And I agree that starting off with the basics first will allow me the time to figure out what I want to do.

Hey Wendi -
Congrats on the test results. . .that’s great news!
Celina brings up some great points. . .I’ll just add a little more.
You can pursue drama, music etc. Match it with a business degree (or minor) and you’re marketable. There are always behind-the-scenes type of work to be done in plays, music etc.
Plus, don’t forget that you have experience in the workforce already. . .that’s worth more than any degree when you go out looking for a job.
To find out what you should major in, I’d suggest talking with different people in careers that you’d like to pursue and find out what type of education/experience they needed. That’s where your major will be.
Just my 2-bits!
Congrats again!
