You'd probably think with that title I'm going to talk about the election or something. Wrong! It's about job stuff.
So I need money, as the holidays are fast approaching, and jobs in my industry are few and not giving me a shot. While I continue to keep trying, it's definitely becoming trying. So I'm feeling that I have no other choice than to seek employment elsewhere. Be Christmas help somewhere, or a temp, but it's a hard decision to make.
How is that a hard decision? It's just that it's really hard as is trying to get into this industry, so going away from it might make it even harder. It just makes me wonder how much fighting am I going to have to do to even get a start in it and only perpetuates the nagging feeling that comes over me as to whether or not I made the right choice of major and such. And if I made the wrong choice, then what am I cut out to do?
I have this fear of never being good at anything. It's irrational, because there's bound to be something I'm good at. I just haven't had a chance to figure it out yet. And then comes the same question, will I ever? So what if I'm no good at my field? Other than having thousands in loans to pay off for a degree I don't get to use, it's like what am I supposed to do with my life? It's apparently a rule that if you already have a Bachelor's degree you can't go get another one. But if that's the case, then what if I'm trying to do something completely unrelated to my degree? I can't go get a Master's in a whole other field.
So again, it's time to decide what to do. I don't know what the future holds for me, who does? I know things that I would want to do and am interested in doing, but will I get the chance to do it? Only time will tell I suppose. Unless a billionaire comes and sweeps me off my feet and then I won't be under such pressure to get a job and can continue new hobbies I have picked up, and do volunteer work, and support non-profits and charities, because really, I want to feel good about what I do, and non-profits/charities would be just that. It's why I have been looking at hospitals to see if they have special events departments for fundraising and such.
Keep your fingers crossed, readers. If you have any advice, please comment and let me know. Leave me a suggestion for something I could do different maybe for job applications and such.

who says you cant get a second Bachelor degree? other than having to go to school all over again there is no rule against it.
also relax. get a job doing anything for now, just because you get a job doesn't mean you have to stay there forever. get a job to make money to pay your loans for now, but always keep your eyes and ears open for something else. you never know what path you could end up on. maybe you meet the person who will be a catalyst into the career of your dreams while walking dogs. you never know.
Being Christmas help isn't a life-long career..it will just give you some money and give you some place to go. If you hire on as a banquet server, maybe the place would also let you intern in events office during the week..servers are usually just needed on week-ends and it would get your foot in the door. Retail would give you money and you might meet someone who could help you towards your next job...pick a store you like to be in...Bed, Bath and Beyond? Bath and Body Works? Torrid? Borders? Just pick some places and apply!!!
