Life updates

Occupational situation

So I have two possible educational paths right now.

Option 1: I tried to find the best vocational center to study administration, in order to work as an Admin Assistant. I ended up finding one that is remote learning and suits me well with the number of hours per week - 15 minimum. Well, the actual diploma is Secretarial Studies - but they do admin assistant training included.

Why would I want to do this?

The answer is simple. I want to help create an organization for starseeds, HSPs, an neurodiverse/disabled people. I will need to develop administrative skills and potentially go for a degree to be self-employed or find employment at first (because sadly, we gotta work through the system to break it!)

There's a new metro called REM that connects South Shore, Montreal and the very bottom point of the Laurentides. 

The branch that connects between Montreal and the Laurentides stations opens next month. I just have to go by bus to the station closest to me and take the REM from there all the way to the last station. It would take roughly 2 hours total to get there.

However, that's probably only going to be for in-person exams and going to sign my documents there when I begin training, so I won't have to go there as much in person. But still, it's very advantageous to have the REM now, so commuting there is easy. I took it a few times to Montreal myself.

Option number two: There is also the possibility of IT training in a vocational center in my area. I haver yet to ask them if they do online remote training. If they do not; I would rather not go there. I tried to do this before. Going to one place 5 days a week back and forth is too exhausting, especially if I wake up early. I can't do it! This is why I prefer remote jobs far more (working from home!). It seems that most IT training in DEP centers is in person. And if they can't offer remote training, 'administration' seems to be my best solution. Not ideal, but good, despite my mother's constant negativism towards my true potential, under the pretext that 'she knows me'.

No, she doesn't. Sorry, mom, I am an ADULT, and you have never known me like I know myself. And I had to find THE center where this will be realistically doable.

We need more accessible education. While waiting for temporary extraction, I want to find meaning in my life.

I prefer admin assistant over IT. However, for what purpose exactly does IT training do with me? That's not really up my avenue. How am I going to help start an organization with just tech support skills?

We also need better transit design in all aspects and variety of transportation modes.

To commute to the vocational center by December, I will only have to take one bus plus the REM. The REM metro is personally soothing, so I can nap in there for an hour and it is universally accessible. So that makes 4 "lines" in total per day I go. Before the opening of the new branch, it would take 4 buses/metros to just go there, so 8 buses in a day. And I don't wanna do that. Who does?
