but i'm trying to change.
it's 2007. in 2005 i decided to take a year off to work in retail and save money.
two years and a faied semester at ivy tech later.
i am working in retail. and i have about 100 dollars saved up which is actually good for me.
the people i've worked with over the past few years...
they're in college.
or they've graduated from college and can't find jobs in their field.
or they're working in retail until their husband gets that big promotion so they can quit and start a family.
or they just really love retail and want to work in it the rest of their lives.
and i feel so disappointing.
i have to do something. i have to go in some direction, any direction.
and when people ask me what i do, i tell them, and then they ask what college i go to and i tell them i don't.
and then i get that look like "you're flushing your life down the toilet."
i know i want to work in a calm environment or work from home.
i know i want a job where i have little contact with a boss or i am my own boss.
