srsly

yeah, i’m pretty depressed about the job thing right now. i mean REALLY. the average search time for someone with my degree is six months in seattle. that could mean up to a year. i don’t have that kind of time or that kind of money. in fact, i think i have two months to find a job. then things will start to get really bad. i think my problem may be that i’m trying to get into something that could be a career right from the get go. or if not lead directly to a career, at least be some kind of work related to what i’ve been doing for the last four years and will give me experience so i can get a job later that might be a career. i’d almost feel cheated getting some crap job to pay the bills after i’ve spent all this time and effort to get my degree. because what’s the point of getting a degree if you aren’t going to use it? i know that most people end up in a career totally unrelated to their career, but thats now how i work. if i wanted to be a magazine writer i would have gotten an english degree or something. i think life is cheating me by requiring me to waste all this time and money so i can wash dishes. damn i’m bitter. i’d be less bitter if i had a job. help me our here folks, i’ll be your best friend forever?
