It made me
How I did it: I finally went to a career counselor, who recommended various tests. They all pointed to Librarian, which I had also been investigating independently. So, I took a part time internship at a library, and after a few months they hired me! Now I am looking into grad school so that I can further follow the career path. Read how I did it…

I'm starting to get desperate.
4 months ago
So, today I applied for about 6 jobs, and have been trying to apply for at least that many everyday now. I have to start making student loan payments in a week, and it’s putting a lot of pressure on me to just find anything. I have applied for food service jobs, janitorial jobs, retail jobs, as well as all the office jobs I have been consistently trying for, and still have yet to get one call from any of them. I am beginning to wonder if it is really the economy or if it is just me that employers don’t like. Whatever it is I am going to have to try harder. I hate to abandon the idea of finding work that I will enjoy, but at this point anything that offers a wage will make me happy.
I know that eventually I will find something, I’m just really frustrated about it at the moment.

Needing a purpose

I would like to teach full-time. Everyone tries to talk me out of it because it is hard and thankless with little pay, but I’m looking for more than a paycheck. I’m currently subbing, and I love it.

Been looking for about a week now
5 months ago
I’ve been applying mostly for clerical office positions. At the moment that seems like a job that I could tolerate and maybe do well at, but it would not make me happy.
On a more positive note, just looking at what kinds of vacancies there are out there, has really got me thinking about jobs that WOULD make me happy. I keep seeing ads for veterinary technicians and librarians, which are both things that I think would enjoy and get a lot out of.
If I decide to do one of these, I’ll have to go back to school because my bachelors degree in music doesn’t really qualify me for anything. I know that if I don’t make a decision and go back to school for a specific degree, I will have to keep settling for jobs that I don’t really want to do. I don’t want to live like that.
I have been lost for such a long time about what would make me happy at this time in my life, it’s kind of a relief to have narrowed it down to a couple of things. It’s a big step for me!

I'm an artist...
7 months ago
I’m about 185 days away from graduating from college and earning my BFA. I am really nervous. The entire point of me going to college for art was so that when I did graduate, even though I knew it would be hard, I’d end up doing something that I loved that made me happy. As graduation gets closer, I am scared.
I really hope I find a job that does make me happy.
