Out of the loop.
Corey's on another detachment and I'm once again out of the loop on his life. There is only so much he is able to tell me through email, and that's if we even are able to email each other.
Today I spent a while looking for jobs, but there's still nothing available that I'm qualified to do. The only difference I've noticed is that even the entry-level positions are disappearing. More and more companies are looking for people with lots and lots of experience or specific schools. I really wish I would have chosen a different career path after the Navy. I shouldn't have finished that Bachelor's degree in aviation. That field is a bust, especially for women. I don't care how many times I read that a company is all about diversity when the truth is that it's just an extension of the boy's club that exists in the military. It will be easy for Corey to switch over to the civilian sector, but I have too many cards stacked against me. I don't know what I'm going to do. I've got to finish that master's degree, being that I'm so close now, but I'm really not looking forward to what comes after that. I already feel like the more time I spend out of work, the less appealing I seem on my resume.
So, yeah. I'm not in the best of moods. It's difficult spending so much time alone. It probably wouldn't be so bad if my dogs
could talk back and I didn't feel like such a crazy person talking to them. I don't think I can teach them language skills though. That's a little beyond me. I tried to look up some classes I could take too, just to keep me occupied, but there aren't many things available around here. That, or they're for kids or experienced professionals. A lot of things are offered at colleges, but I can't take any of those when I'm still enrolled with my current college. The GI Bill won't let me. :( I guess I just feel kind of stuck. Again.
