Came back just a bit ago from my meeting with The Nice People At Baltimore Works. I ended up talking to the same guy that last week told me there was no way I'd ever get funding to study massage therapy, even if there are programs on the approved list. Now he's all "Well, I wouldn't bet the farm but I wouldnt write it off completely", and started out filling out my forms with that being what I want to do. I get to go back twice next week for various skills and career interests assesments. He aso gave me the contact information for the county office up in Towson (I'm a city resident, but I can also go to the county office because I was displaced from a job that had been located in the county) I think I'm going to go up there tomorrow. I've been meaning to take a run up to Towson anyway.

I also did make it very clear that I'd be equally as interested in studying web design if they weren't down for funding massage therapy. Cause hey, I'd dig that. I think I'd really enjoy it actually.

I did, however make it VERY clear that I wanted to avoid tech support jobs like a mutant plague.
