Obstacles

Why does life throw us obstacles? I guess they are meant to test our resolve and such, but they sure are annoying. Case in point: this whole becoming an insurance broker thing. Let me explain.

So, I looked a little further into this course I would need to take in order to become a Level 1 broker. After looking over the fees, it quickly became clear that I don't have the money right now to take the course. For the orientation day, two-week course and exam fee all total just over $1300. Money I just don't have unfortunately. So now I am more confused then ever as to what to do. I could still say I am interested in the part-time receptionist job at Darling Insurance and then work towards my Level 1 broker's license while there. There are a couple of advantages to this: one being employed at Darling, might mean they would pay for my licensing and secondly I can take it through Durham College at night (its offered for 2 nights a week for 11 weeks) while still earning some income and learning the insurance business.

So thats my obstacle in a nutshell. Any thoughts?
