As a 19 year old with little experience in the working field, I begin, of course, with an online search. But there really isn't anything for a girl who has to balance out a bizarre, full-time, college schedule and activities such as soccer, choir, and Habitat for Humanity. You'd think that after volunteering and doing so much extra-curricular work, that finding something would be easy. Nope. Not the case.
I have looked into numerous possibilities, including package-handler, child-care, wait-staff, pretty much everything short of psychic (although it shouldn't take too much time to learn Tarot. Maybe then I could work off street corners?), but I haven't found much. Oh wait! I found a company that sells cutlery. CUTLERY!!! I'm barely allowed to have a pocket-knife in my dorm. I'm pretty sure the RA's would kick me out if they knew that I would be harboring a full set of kitchen and butchers' knives underneath my bed.
But really, what else is out there? Oh, I suppose I could enter writing contests. So, after hours of looking into that option, I emerge from the internet, tired and disheartened. Free-lance writing is for "professionals". And so I think, 'Well, I could fake professionalism, couldn't I?'
Oh well. And with that realization that free-lancing is not in my immediate future. I thought about the poor blog that I had almost abandoned. It's hard to say abandoned; I only post a couple times a month. I'll work on it. I promise.
But, my dears, in response to a hearty kick in the rear I will resume my job search with renewed vigor.
Cheers!
