Unsure of the future
« on: January 19, 2012, 02:54:48 PM »
I posted this as a journal on Deviantart earlier.

Well, it's been almost two months since I graduated from college with my Associate's Degree in Multimedia.  For some reason, I just can't find the inspiration to create anything, and I can't seem to find a job in my field.

I know the economy is bad and all, but the job market here in Charlotte, NC is really bad.  Especially for someone in my field.  I would happily up-root and move to another state if I could, but unfortunately I don't have the means to do so.  I would pretty much be living in my car.

So, at this point I feel my only options are thus:

1) Try and find any job I can and spend the next bit of forever trying to pay off my student loans.
2) Just sit here and hope I can find a job in my field.  Then, spend the next bit of forever paying off my student loans.
3) hook up with someone on the internet that would be kind enough to let me stay with them until I can find a job.  This is not likely to happen.


So, in short, I have no idea what I'm going to do or how I should go about doing it.  I guess I'll just have to keep plugging away and hope something good happens.

Oh, and fuck ITT TECH!

You can come live with me... *slowly tilts head to the side and smiles*

Honestly though, that's why I'm not going to college right now. At my job, I only get 15 hours a week and I get paid minimum wage ($7.50) 5 days a week. That's barely enough to cover my rent for the month. Fortunately I live with my parents, but I still need to pay rent.

I also have to pay about 190 dollars for my car insurance, 200-ish dollars for glasses (God forbid they break), and 360 dollars a month for my medicine. I just don't have the money to pay for the things I need these days. It's bad enough that all my money goes towards my rent, but having to pay an additional $550 every month for my car and medicine is just brutal.

So yeah... even though I don't have to pay things like house mortgage (thank god) or pay some $800 rent for an apartment, this economy is completely eating away that which I need most (medicine).

    Wish I had something to offer here besides advise. Being just about homeless myself, having good friends helps so very, very much. I am actually staying with a friend now and have been since my legs blew out.

    Alright, let us see what there is. Is there any teachers that you had good or decent relations with? Asking a teacher may be a good idea. If that fails, is there anyone that was a job you would like to have you can talk to? Hmmm, if that does not work, then widening your search may yield results?

    A break from what you just got done studying may be what you need. Burnout sucks, so by taking a small break, intentional or not, could be good. That is my two cents and I hope you find something you enjoy that can carry you though.
