I chose the college associates degree programs that I ended up getting by flipping a coin. I know, I know. It’s not the best way to figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life. But the fact of the matter is that I wasn’t able to figure it out any other way. There were two similar degree choices that each had pros and cons and there was no clear winner between the two of them. Flipping a coin worked.

I don’t necessarily recommend this as a course of action. And I think those people who do choose to use this wacky decision-making method when figuring out school should use it only for choices that aren’t that important. Flipping a coin about whether to do a health care program at Brown College or to get a Gibbs health care degree is one thing. Flipping a coin about being a nursing assistant vs. going to medical school is a little bit different.

I suppose that there are better decision-making methods even for the small decisions like the choice between the two degrees that I made by flipping a coin. I just wasn’t aware of any of them at the time. I was very much in a position that I either needed to make a choice or not get a degree and I wanted to get a degree. I guess I could’ve done eenie meenie miney mo instead.
