Since I was a little boy, I had one goal: become a grown up. Even in high school, I couldn't wait to enter the real world. While I was obtaining my BA from Virginia Tech, I had no clue what I wanted to do, but I was excited about whatever it would be. Then I faced a (brief) rude awakening. That's right, I couldn't find a job.
Part of it is definitely my fault, because I'm the one who moved to a college town in the middle of nowhere. But since this is MY blog, I will treat it like Fox News treats their blatant lies, and claim that I never said that and you can't prove it. Anywho, I ended up with a string of crappy part-time jobs to help pay bills until I could leave the hell-hole that is central PA. Then I was sucked back in to higher education. I came up with the brilliant idea that I wanted to be responsible for shaping the future minds of America, a terrifying thought.
Now three years later, I'm only a few weeks away from graduation from college (again). This time, I'm SOL. James is looking all over the country (and by all over, I mean one city in New Mexico and five in California) for a high-paying engineering job, and I'll be tagging along like a good house[husband] wherever we go. I can no longer kid myself that I can stay in academia anymore. Its time to polish the resume, prepare a portfolio, and wait to figure out where I can apply to work.
All the time, I'm just thinking
"I DON'T WANNA!!!!!"
