Finding My Place
So, as much as I would just love to keep living the dream forever, I had my first semi-sleepless night the other day, stressing about what I was going to after I graduated from college. I have some post-graduation plans in the pipeline, but I'd still like to take some time off academia first, just to go out and do something different - to go and sew my oats in the world of employment.
The problem is - what does a young buck like me do for a living. sure, I'm smart, I can work a room, and a computer. I have my part-time job now, but it's not real, you know? It's not a resume kind of job.
So, am thinking I need to sort my resume out, get it whooped into shape, ready to show off my skills. Except I'm nervous I don't have any, not concrete ones anyhow. Or maybe I do, and I just don't realise. Am sure, if I put pen to part I could quite easily paint a pretty picture for the work-force. Realistically, I think I could be placed in the cosy corner of some production company, running out for coffees, and generally being a dogsbody. Or do something like it.
I have been browsing the internet, getting to grips with recruitment, trying to find opportunities for a guy like me. I'm just looking for that something, to seesaw me from student to solicitor. I merely use that as turn of phrase - without a major, I'm walking lost and confused...woe is me.
It's pretty cool in a way - I can use my lack of experience to never get a job, and catch myself in the vicious, but oh do comfortable cycle of unemployment with an allowance.
