I did what I was told, went to college and made good grades just to get job offeres that are just a buck or two over minimum wage. I work 20 odd hours a week and make more then 95% of the jobs I have been offered/told about... Except I would be working 40-60 hours a week performing a job I really wouldn't enjoy.
I got my bachelors in social work with the intent to do community work, because the area I live in needs all the help it can get. I thought being from this area would give me a leg up to find a community job in the area....but it has been just the opposite.
I have began to look at other states for jobs and have found that they either don't pay well enough to relocate or I need a million years experience and a masters degree.
I cannot stress how done I am with school....it may be my downfall and sentence to a low wage work for the rest of my life....but so be it. School has helped me so much this far "notice my sarcasm" and I don't want to go further in debt and still not get that great of a job.
I don't want to work a job I hate just because it pays just a little bit better then waiting tables and not have a life...but right now I really hate waiting tables. I'm in the process of finding out something I would love to do and it's really hard....but if I have learned anything in the past few months it's that happiness is all that should matter.
So I'm going to find another place to work in the very near future and work on myself some more.
As long as all my bills are paid I really don't care where I'm working as long as I'm happy....so until next time keep it real and follow my accounts and leave comments
