Post-Graduate Life
...blows. For me at least. I don't know how all of the rest of you guys have been fairing since you have left your alma maters, but personally, I can't seem to get my shit together for the life of me. I guess I did go overseas for 4 months, then move out here without a job, a plan, hardly any money, any friends or a decent place to live, but still, I thought things would be going a lot better than they are almost a year after.
I am not using my degrees at the moment, and I don't really plan to either. I really have no idea what i'm doing at this point in my life at all, all I do know is that I refuse to settle for some post-graduate sales or finance job that everyone else seems to do which, while I feel a lot better about myself not selling out to a mundane, normal life, it's taking quite the hit on my bank account and living standards.
I consider myself very intelligent, a hard worker, I hardly ever drink or slack off, I have two degrees and am working 3 jobs, except getting laid off from one at the moment due to cutbacks. I switch jobs like every couple months, I can't seem to find anything I like.
Anyone else having this kind of experience? If not, seriously congratulations I envy you, but for me personally post-graduate life is not what I always thought it would be....I think I could get on track if I would just take some white collar finance or sales job or whatever, but i just can't bring myself to do that.
