(no subject)
Well, I'm still a big, fat, jobless loser. Apparently, no one wants to hire me, not even for a crappy office job. I don't have any clerical experience and it seems like any position requires at least a year. I haven't even been called for an interview. Ugh. I feel like such a failure. The only places that want me back are Wal-Mart and Whataburger; what does that say about me?
I find it strange that in order to get an office job I need quite a bit of experience, but if I want a job as a teacher's aide or as a substitute I don't need any. How is that logical? Oh well. Those positions also pay a lot less. I think my last resort is to start working as a substitute teacher. I have to attend an orientation of some kind for that, though...the next one isn't until February 17th. After that, I think I'm going to try to get my teaching certificate through an alternative certification program about which I learned from one of my friends. He is about to complete his tests and stuff and it only took him about four months. After that, he has to complete an internship (two semesters) but the position pays the same amount as any first year-teacher would earn. You know, I really didn't think I wanted to be a teacher, even though I like kids. It just seems as though I spent a really long time wishing to be out of school and now I'm resigning myself to a life working in one. Bleh. Kinda backward, isn't it? I also worry that I won't do a good job. I don't know. I feel really uninspired and pessimistic about it, though.
Oh, and I'm developing a sore throat for some reason.
