Career Move?

Nothing huge really going on. Jerry and I have just been hanging out. Last night we went out to dinner with a friend of his. We all had a really good time. We were there talking for almost 5 hours, but it was nice intelligent and amusing conversation. We need that every once in awhile, I think Jerry and I have a tendency to not talk much because we see each other all the time, so it feels like there's nothing to talk to most of time. Not like that hurts our relationship or anything, we talk about the important stuff, of course.

I've been feeling a little confused lately. I really love my job and I love the people I work with(most of the time), but I feel like I'm at such a dead end. I'm making pretty decent money for the doggie daycare and kennel attendent industry, but it's not the kind of money that you can start a family with. And not that Jerry and I are planning on having children very soon after we're married; we want to get settled first. But we need to be able to be prepared for it. It just feels like I'm not pulling my weight financially in the relationship. He pays most of our bills, and I pay for my student loan, car loan, and my credit cards. He covers everything and I do feel bad about that, but I just don't have the cash. It just sucks because, yeah, he makes almost double what I do, but it's not enough to pay for a mortgage and everything else that goes into buying a house. And sure I know that Mom and Dad would let us stay in the house as long as we need to be here, but we don't want to have to be here for long after we're married. I think it will just be weird. So, anyway, I need to figure out what my next move is. But it's hard, because this is all I know. I've only ever worked with dogs, and I have no interest in doing veterinary work. And being a college dropout(ouch! never thought of myself like that before), that doesn't help. I don't know. I just need to keep what to do next on the back burner...
