I emailed the girl in the Internet dept today. She asked her boss's boss about any open positions, and although there are none right now, there will definitely be some this summer when a couple of people retire. She said to send some of my work to a specific woman and she would put it on file for when those jobs open up. It made me feel better to have a plan. And when it gets right down to it, the internet dept is what I always really wanted rather than the Marketing dept. I think things turn out the way they are supposed to even if you don't realize it at the time. You just have to look for it. So if I'm patient, there is a chance to achieve what I 'really' want.
I think that the internet will be more stable in the future as opposed to printing and such. Things are just headed that way. To me its common sense. I've heard people say the printed product will always be there, but even if that's true (which I'm not so sure of), I think the internet will be where the majority of the jobs are. And where the demand is, is the place to be as far as I'm concerned. Not because I'm so materialistic or whatever, but because I'd like to be able to support myself and take care of my family. In my past, just the act of supporting myself was so beyond me that, it is what I strive for. And of course I love nothing better than to learn new programs. I'm a total geek that way. I may even decide to go into programing eventually, who knows?
I know I'm repeating myself, but it feels so much better just to have a tentative plan.
So Larbear, if you're reading, I'd be interested in what you think about my career goals. I know from your posts that you're feeling very vunerable (I so can't spell) right now, but I have a lot of respect for your opinion. Of course, if you don't feel up to answering, I totally understand. I feel that way myself sometimes. I think its VERY important to take care of oneself if you EVER want to stand a chance of helping OTHER people. That's been a hard lesson I've learned in life. Its so easy to think you should sacrifice your own needs for others, at least if you were raised to be all meek and mild like I was. But there comes a point when you can't possibly help others if you are sacrificing your own well being.
Anyway, I'm going on a tangent here so I'll quite. Thanks for listening anyone who read this far!!!

P.S. I've had a few glasses of wine which always causes me to RAMBLE! So forgive me if I'm being mundane or whatever.
