*Le Sigh*
I spent the morning tweaking my Resume and creating a generic cover letter (or 2, or 3, or… you get the idea). Why am I doing this? I can’t work as a book seller at Borders forever, well not without killing myself and several others . After cleaning my paperwork up, I started looking for internships and jobs through UCD’s Internship and Career center website. The site is a byzantine network that I had troubles navigating through, eventually though I got to the search section. After an hour of searching 2 things were painfully obvious to me. One: My degree will not help me find a job in any way, shape, or form. Two: There aren’t a lot of jobs out there of what I want to do. Number two is the real issue. I don’t know what I really want to do with my life, I only have the most amorphous sense of what I want to accomplish in this life. I found a listing for an editorial internship at Prima, I sent them a resume and cover letter. I also shot one off to Ziff Davis Media Inc. I worry I will never hear back from either one. I tried calling Ziff today and their phone system doesn’t give you an operator …ever. I know they’ll be asking for interns again, but it won’t be till the beginning of next year, can I wait that long?
I’m not holding my breath. Guess I should stop wasting time and study for the GRE and LSAT. Though, if I do take them and do well and get into Grad or Law school, will I be any better off than I am now? I still won’t know what I’m suppose to want to do here, I’ll only be delaying the inevitable.
Enough with the depressing soul searching.
