Most of you who know especially my family. I have wanted to get out of pharmacy go in a completely different direction. Since I graduated from high school I wanted to go into the travel industry. My favorite subjects in school were history, geography and world culture (social studies ). My grades didn’t reflect that, lol. I always was a hard worker. I did start at the community college in their travel and tourism degree program. However, I obviously didn’t finish it due to all the prerequisites and needed a certain grade point average to move onto the next course. Essentially, it would have took me maybe 3 to 4 years to complete a two-year degree in their travel and tourism program. Plus I let a lot of outside influences get into my head saying, I was not able to make a living doing this, after having had the opportunity to travel abroad twice it only reaffirmed what I always knew and wanted to do. I loved everything about being in Scotland. It made me realize that there were other ways to achieve your goals and dreams. It was just a matter of finding the right program to achieve what I always wanted. Of course, life sometimes gets the way and throws a lot of curveballs and missteps. But here I am now at a crossroads . I have the time and the means to go after what I’ve always wanted. I have enrolled in The Travel Institute they have been in business over 60 years training in Travel Agents and Travel Counselors. They are based in Massachusetts Pre Covid you actually could study on their campus but after Covid they made the program online and self study. Their support system, commitment to continuing education, and the resources has made my decision easy and made them the perfect choice. Not only do they support their students from day one all the way through the program. The continued resources beyond just learning the industry, also helping you build a profitable home base business as well if I choose to go that path. Which ever way I decide to go with I have support and resources. Beyond excited and overwhelmed because after my books arrived it’s legit. No joke. Massive textbooks. So ready for this! Thank you to my sisters and Mom for supporting me. One heck of a ride ahead.
