Frustration of the career change

It seems that certain entities like to punish you for bettering yourself. Maybe I'm being harsh, it could be softened by stating that they aren't punishing you, just taking advantage of your situation. I love the new career! I feel as if this is where I'm meant to be, but the hoops and 'fines' I'm paying to do it don't seem worth it. Maybe I'm a little bias due to the fact that I think this 'Graduate Level' class I'm taking would be better served to a 5th grader over a bed of rice. It's simple and infuriating. I don't understand why I must, but I must. Therefore I will. Thanks for the rant. It's been too long.
