Jobs
I need a little advice. I got a job doing the exact same thing I did last summer... raising money for the environment (ie getting paid really well to pull in a lot of money that I'm not totally convinced is used for what I'm telling people it is used for.) Last summer, I loved my job because it involved riding my bike through hill country and talking about the environment with farmers and super progressive liberals. Doing this in NYC is a liiiiittle bit different... it means you are one of those people who stands on the street and says "Hey do you hahve a minute for the environment?" to wealthy-looking people who will sign up to give you $15/month on their credit card out of guilt.
And really, there's no way in hell I would be doing this job if I could find a job teaching, or if I could get more students to tutor. It's just not happening though, and my parents are reallly getting on my case. I feel like one of those people with dollar signs in my eyes in cartoons, but the lack of income really IS getting ridiculous, and this is something I know that I'm good at. Ah, I don't know.
In addition, I'm going to start work the day I also start my class at Columbia, so I will essentially be leaving my apartment at 9am and not getting back until 9pm mon- thurs (Friday it will be 9 to 6- no class). This is really going to cut in on my relationship, which is strong so I can do it but I just don't know if I want to. I've really been enjoying spending time with Kaeden.
Enough blabbering. Advice? Anyone? Anyone?
