Need a job

Apr 25, 2009 16:55

This Thursday marked the second time a job I applied for was cut. Fuck the following two things: 1) "The Economy" and 2) the recent trend in education to transfer autonomy onto individual schools, creating a lean central office and therefore fewer jobs for me. #2 I disagree with beyond selfish reasons, so let's really fuck that one.

Can't someone just pay me to create better outcomes for our students already?!

Here's my latest predicament: my only definite career prospect is about the only thing I am overqualified for, a measly summer internship that would probably just end up being slave labor in launching a school and is financially a joke. It could potentially be good experience and open up post-summer opportunities for me. The prospective employer needs a commitment from me by next Friday. I have no other really promising options as of now other than two other jobs I've applied for and haven't heard back from and a couple important people I've connected with who say they will try to find something for me. Do I commit to the internship and be relieved that I have at least a solid plan for the next few months or refuse and keep looking? I'm leaning toward the latter, but I need your advice please.

Other than the job search, I'm just sitting here avoiding the 40+ pages of papers I have to write and writing Marie love letters instead.

Another thing I want to know is this: who has read volume one of Darin's book and what did you think of it??
