So I went down memory lane by reading through all my past posts and man, do I hate reading what I wrote back in high school. It seems that I only ever used this journal back then to complain about my relationship status and that just makes me want to go back in time to give a wake up call to my past self.

That is partially why I am joining the military, it would be my biggest foot in the door for getting government positions. Plus, it will only add to my government retirement in the end and I can still end up helping the environment especially in the Coast Guard where they are in charge of spills that happen in the water *cough*Gulf oil spill*cough*.

I can definitely relate on the internship crap. I am thinking that since I already have a degree and that since most people who go for internships i.e. people still in college have gone back for the fall semester. What happens? I can't even get one of those and I am just like really? I thought my field job that I got would even help but no.

Hopefully, the military will give me the training to get me a job and such afterwards. I know the survival training will certainly help when trying to proove to these people that I can handle remote areas for long periods of time.

I just hate this vicious circle you get into. They want you to have experience with all these things for ENTRY level positions and it's like where am I going to get that experience if I can't get into entry level positions?!
