Progress for Progress's Sake.. ?

I left university about a few months ago (flew home on June 5th) and found myself desperately wanting some break from things. Studies, endless work, and on-going worries. To cut the story short, I underwent a really exhausting and grueling but pretty illuminating job-seeking journey. It was pretty confusing too, and I think I somehow worried my

Gah, I know what you mean, wanting to take a break from it all. DX School and work got to be too much at the same time, along with everything else in my home life.

I felt nauseated by what I studied, and I seriously don't feel like going along with Science. It might not be the same for every other place, but it's riddled with hypocrisy in where I am. Needless to say, I wanted to run away and leave the whole field..
Can you explain that? *is unsure*

In any case, good for not going along with it, and walking away before it's too late. And good luck with your job. *hugs*

It's more like there's a conflict between what I want and could do well as opposed to what I was doing. It was especially obvious in the final year when I was doing my thesis - things happened in the way that I wanted to throw everything away, but to do that I would have to extend. Being told that you do well in others wasn't exactly encouraging at that time.

So I moved on because I don't feel like regretting about the fact that I never tried other things, and never tried exploring with potential I have.. you know what I mean..?

Thanks :D

Ugh - I feel more like breaking things over the economy, at least where I'm located. Where I'm working for the sake of Survival has people from all sorts of studies and degrees - so I fight the urge to tear folks apart for ignorant remarks like "I'm glad I went to college, lol"

But so happy you've got a job writing. :)

Thanks!

Some people can't resist the urge to gloat, can they?

[comic_heroine]

Oh yeah - especially when they unwittingly say that in front of folks with all sorts of degrees. I took a $4.22 pay cut just to make ends meet, and then the hours aren't reliable, either.

Getting the first job is really the hardest. Anyway, congrats on finding a job you like! Hope it comes with many good things ahead.

It is, really. Most of my friends either go with the what they are already led on with, or plain clueless. That sorta made me feel lucky. In a way.

Thanks <3333

Life is finally picking up for you eh?
