I am currently unemployed. Over the past couple of years or so, I have really tried to figure out that one special question that you are asked since you are a toddler: What do you want to be when you grow up? I have been leaning on the side of Law School, but after completing my undergraduate, I have completely decided that I at least need a small break from organized education. I have also thought about going abroad and teaching (particularly in India) English. You know how you hear people, speakers, come back from an exotic land telling you all about themselves working abroad somehow and how great it was. Turns out, getting to the "abroad" part of my plan is a lot harder than it sounds. At least for me.
This leads me to my current predicament. I am currently unemployed. I have been through weeks of job hunting and interviews. I am on week five, and I still have no job. Last week, I interviewed for a position with 46 other applicants! It was a group interview, and I am sitting there surrounded by the recently unemployed people of America's recession thinking, "How could I possibly be deserving of a job like this? These people have kids and families to support!" Yesterday, I had a final interview for a position that would be so great. It is right across the street from where I live, and could possibly help me save up to go "abroad" and teach.
For now, I wait.
