Ugh, I've only been out of school a month, and I'm already getting discouraged looking for a job. I'm also kicking myself for not sucking it up and getting a double major. FLIS was quite possibly one of the most useless majors I could have picked for myself. At least if I'd majored in English or Philosophy, I'd have *known* that unless I got a Masters degree in something completely different I'd be stuck in food service. Seriously, seriously considering going to get an associate's degree in Business Administration or something from JCTC just so that I've got some marketable skills. I figure almost all the gen. ed. classes would be covered by the classes I took at Bellarmine. JCTC would also be a lot more affordable than going back to BU and taking Business classes there, even if BU does look better on a resume.
On the bright side, I have an interview with AEON Corporation on the 25th. Getting hired by them would give me another year to figure out what I want out of life with the added bonus of having a full time job and getting to live in Japan.
Why don't they have practical classes when you're in liberal-arts type majors? The one class I really learned anything useful in was Business Calculus, and I only just barely squeaked through with a passing grade (note: my definition of a passing grade and the college's definition are slightly different). I feel so unprepared for the real world. I'm sure it's a common thing, but it's really terrifying. Going on to grad school, or getting an associate's would just prolong the inevitable. Eventually I'm just going to have to suck it up and be a grown up. In summary: I bitch and moan about the unfairness of life. Oh the wangst. Grow up, me.
