The Job HUNT and reality sets in syndrome

...continues.

Okay, so i now would like to go back and smack all the professors who told me that i would have no problem finding a job because i have a Bachelor's degree from an accredited college.

The truth is company's may be looking for a B.A but they are also looking for experience (which i don't have.) The experience i have is in Nursing and the license that i have for that expired back in Dec. NOt only that but i really don't want to work in the healthcare field. I suppose though that if a place did want to go through the trouble of getting me re-licensed and payed me well enough i would have no choice but to take the job.

However, i just don't want to and not because i'm not good at it or that it doesn't pay well but mostly because i know all the stress that is involved and i know that i would just be miserable if i had to do it for a long period of time again. I don't want to be like my father and hate life because i hate my job.

BUT...I can't live here at the Ryerse's for a long time there just isn't enough space. The reality of it all is i also need to get my own car soon and working 19hrs a week at the bookstore is neither going to get me a car or an apartment.

so at this point i'll take what i can get...and maybe i'll get a job that i will be surprised about and that i will actually enjoy...that doesn't involve me being up at ungodly hours of the night and doesn't completly rob me of a social life that i might someday hopefully have.
