Well, the ADM job fell through (that's Archer Daniel Midland, Pan, and it is a company that processes a lot of agricultural products for use in food), and if I don't get the pharm-tech job, then I am going to have to get work as some sort of fucking minimum wage bullshit that a sufficiently trained monkey or a halfway well-programmed machine could do.
This makes me angry. I don't want to start down some career path that leaves me burned out and misanthropic. I sincerely don't want to be left with the sort of unadulterated loathing for the population at large that I got from working at Wally-world. I don't need to have the well poisoned as far as my feelings toward humanity go, especially with my son. Retail bullfuckery does not make me like people. I can only foresee an intense withdrawal into my family if I have to work menial labor, because I will grow an intense hatred for my fellow man then. To say I don't like giving up my time working on things that have little appreciable benefit is a profound understatement. At least with that ADM job, I could say that I was working to ensure that people weren't getting sick. But, cashier work? Menial labor? Shit, Marx was talking about worker alienation 150 years ago, I don't need to go over that. I don't need that sense of anomie again.
It sure is nice to have a Bachelor's degree, though! I am now overqualified for high school positions and underqualified for positions requiring a higher degree, and, luckily, there are almost no jobs requiring a B.S. in biology.
Fucking hell.
