And into the fire...
Well, I've made some decisions that I think will make this time of transition easier. I have decided to apply for lab tech positions at VCU. There are several recently posted positions and I am plenty qualified for all of them. I'll make a pretty decent salary, have the awesome state health benefits, and best of all...tuition is WAIVED for two classes a semester. VCU is much more generous with their tuition waiver program than the other Virginia university I worked for. They do not require you to work for a year before being eligible for the waiver and they cover two classes rather than one, even graduate classes. WOOT! Factor in summer classes and I could potentially earn my masters degree for FREE in less than 3 years, all while making payments to deferred (meaning no interest while I'm in school) student loans and knocking the principal way down.

I'm so nervous. I hope I can work this out.
