Recently, I began to search for a 2nd job, and to my suprise, there were a couple potentials....if I was desperate enough. Will someone who wants and needs something still be picky enough to say "No thanks"? I will. I had an interview with this marketing company--the advertisement about the position teased my mind so much that I put everything into making this position a reality for me. When I went for the interview, the job turned out to be something, not entirely different, but just not what I expected. Although technically I was hired for the position, its not something that I can make happen right now as far as my schedule goes.
Why didn't I take the job? The pay seems decent enough (for now), and I dont want to be subjected to a McDonalds or Papa Johns, so what is good enough and what isn't? For some people, the pay rate an employer offers is enough to make the decision, however, I would need a job that works around my schedule, and something that I know I can do; I can't go off of "training" that may or may not be provided for the job because then I wouldn't feel secure enough to perform the duties
At this point in my college career, where I am almost done, I find the need to simply search for jobs which are not exactly careers, nor in my field, but simply something that will hold me over until I am able to settle down with a career. For a class, I had to complete a job-search packet, which included me actually looking for an open position. It just informed me of what I already knew--finding a job with my major is difficult, and for lack of a better word, non-existent. Although the issues of money will go on for as long as things have a cost, will we ever be secure enough in the wallet to be comfortable?
I just want to live a fancy free, carefree life. But slacking, relaxing and having fun doesn't pay the bills. so unfortunately, EVERYTHING has a cost.....
