lord, i'm discouraged

i thought the job market was bad last year.

i'm pretty much fucked. at least i've found a night steam grate in the district i can live on. it's pretty central, convenient to shopping, nightlife, and transportation.

ok, what other careers do you think i could do? i've pretty much epic failed at this one.

ai yiyi. well... there *is* always the fact that you've taught writing classes before. community colleges always need adjuncts in that, right? ::blink blink::

ooh. good idea. i bet teaching writing away from the sith may even be rewarding!

GIGOLO! Duh.

Or you can use our marriage-earned Canadian citizenship and sell yourself to other desperate Americans wanting to flee to Canada, depending on what happens in a few months...

i don't know if you ever met david jones - he was a visiting prof in philosophy last year, and goddamn, he had exactly the same grief that you did. philosophy and religious studies are, in particular, difficult disciplines to break into. don't be discouraged. you are young and have much energy. you will go far with your love of the field, your dashing good looks, and your ability to staple anything made of paper, no matter how many sheets are involved.
