Would like to take control of my life.

For so many years in my life I have always done things to make others happy and set my dreams aside til 5 yrs ago I decided divorce my husband after 13yrs. He had broke me down to almost nothing with physical, emotional & verbal abuse. I was the point that no one would want me cause i 3 kids and was 30yrs old. It was the biggest, hardest & best decision I have ever made. After all was said & done the reality of everything started to show. I made some bad decision, went through some rough times & at times just wanted to give up. I had to sometimes remind myself why did I give up everything I worked so hard for, for 13yrs to just give it all up. I did it for my kids, my freedom & my sanity, I also wanted to show myself & my kids that I am a strong women and I don't need someone to take care of me. I also wanted to so other women that they can walk away too and still land on there two feet. Now 5 years later I am still trying to get things in order but I see the light now. I think my next big decision is to further my education. I work in a factory and it is one of the worst places I have ever worked. I have seen and still do see things I would rather not see but I guess when you work around all men and very few women plus we work 12 hr shifts things happen but I has made me into a very distrusting person. We also get talked down to by so many and the company it's self could care less about there employees. Many people around me have noticed I have gone into a depression and I just cant seem to get out of it. So I thing one thing I can do is to get out of where I work at but the pay is very good, so I feel the only decision I can make is to go back to school but for what? That is where I am at right now.

Try talking to a career counselor.  There are tests you can take that can show you where your interests lies and what future you might want to work towards.
