whats the point?

I have been sitting at home on my ass for a whole week now. With no job and no job prospects. I can't complain a whole lot because i could have easily used this week to pursue a job...but sitting at home waching ER re-runs, Jenny Jones, and of course Dr. Phil and Oprah are much more fun then getting turned down for yet another job. I am starting to feel like a loser and that going to graduate school was a waste of my time and money. Since the graduate school that i went to is rated "#1" for it's program by US News and World Report (what a fuckin joke)...u would think that i would have people pounding down my door wanting me to work for them...after all, thats what was drilled into my head since the first week of school. But nooooo instead im sittimg at home damn near begging agencies to give me a job regardless of how much they can pay me. It look like im going to have to resort to getting a retail job paying me $8 an hour even though i have a masters degree. Don't get me wrong i dont mind working retail...it has it's perks (although pay and hours are not one of them) but I have over $60,000 dollars in student loans that i am expected to start paying back in June and as of right now...barely $300 in my checking account and no job. PLEASE explain to me how someone can have to much education for a simple job?? Now we all know that retail posisitions have some of the highest turnovers so why they hell would they not want to hire me. Obviously i aint no dummy, i can interact with people (otherwise i would not have gotten my masters degree in social work), and im not going to blow my life on stealing from a store after working so hard to achieve what i have...i am a perfect match for a retail job...unless of course the managers are highly insecure because maybe i have a little more eduction then them. But the last thing im going to do is try to steal there job....i dont mind working retail but hell i dont want to do it for the rest of my life, just long enough to put a little $$$ in my pocket. I keep calling Calstaff and they dont have any assignments for me and they said that it is unusally quite there. I went to a job fair yesterday and there were only 3 social service agencies. I am keeping my fingers crossed that one will call me back soon. Mind you that out of the 3 that were there i already sent two of those agentcies my resume more than a month ago and never heard from them. I have about 20 resumes or so floating around Sacramento. Next week im going to a new temp agency. Im still keeping my fingers crossed about the internship. Although now i dont have the money to get to D.C. or even move. I just dont have a really good feeling about the internship. But im checking my e-mail like everyday at least two or three times with high hopes. Can you believe the average cost of gas here is $2.09. Yesterday i paid $2.15. That fucking president is a piece of shit. i knew when he was elected that we were in a lot of trouble and my worst dreams seem to be coming true. He is part of the reason that i cant find a damn job and that people are laying off left and right instead of hiring. THe economy sucks right now...and it does not help that Cali is in a HUGE budget defecit. Almost all state and county jobs are on a hiring freeze. My back up plan was to substitute teach...that might be the best plan since teachers are being laid off. But if all the teachers are getting laid that means they are more likely to substitute teach and since they have experience they will likely get more assignments than me. (well there goes another backup plan) What they hell is this world coming to? What is our future supposed to be like if we start laying off teachers...i see where this countries priorities are. Damn this shit is fucked up...(sigh) I now i went off an a little tangent there but i needed to get that out...maybe i can attempt to get on with mey day...ooo Ricki Lake is coming on...gotta go. |
