I hate job searching!
So I know I never ever write here but I am so beyond frustrated and there's only so much I can complain to Cory before he stops listening. I'm just so frustrated that it is so hard for me to find a job.
As a college graduate you would think that it would be easy. But it's definitely not. I apparently made a huge mistake by not majoring in business or engineering. These are apparently the only jobs on the face of the planet that have any job openings. Whether I look in the newspaper, hotjobs, monster jobs, or the UF CRC website, those positions are the only ones listed. And so of course I'm not the slightest bit qualified for these jobs. Where are all the postings for liberal arts majors? I mean, these jobs must be out there somewhere or else they wouldn't have these majors to begin with, but it's getting ridiculous.
And on the rare chance that I do find a job in the field that I want (namely, some sort of museum and/or research work), they want experience. But how am I supposed to get this experience when no one offers a job to someone without experience?! I've found several jobs that say bachelor's degrees are ok, but that you need experience. If one has a masters then they don't need it. So obviously I need to go back to school to get my masters. But what if I can't get back into school? My gpa wasn't all that high and I didn't do much outside of school and work so I need to write awesome essays and get awesome references from people I don't really know. Even if I manage to get into grad school, I couldn't enter for another year. So what the hell am I doing with my time right now?
I seriously feel like I am just wasting a year of my life right now. I've had to resort to looking for minimum wage jobs in order to get any money at all, but I still haven't even gotten one of those yet, not to mention I'll need two min wage jobs just to make rent for my apartment. The thing that irks me most of all about this is that if I have to settle for a minimum wage job then why the hell did I move to Sarasota and put myself through all this? Instead of being upset because I'm lonely and missing my boyfriend like crazy, I could be living in Gainesville with everyone else and working this crappy minimum wage job!
I mean, I know that no one really knows why I moved to Sarasota in the first place except for my best friend. Cory and I haven't even discussed my reasons for it. They seem like silly reasons now and I'm not going to go into it, but it just feels like my life is wasting away right now and I wonder why I even bothered to do this. Why couldn't I have just been like every normal friend of mine and extended my undergrad experience till I knew what I wanted to do or until I was guarenteed a job? I'm just so frustrated with life right now.
