Rejected

[geekhyena]

Both graduate schools I applied to rejected me.  I haven't gotten so much as a callback from any internship or summer job I applied for.  My own parents view me as a failure, especially compared to my little sister, who now enjoys the favorite child position I enjoyed before I decided to do what I wanted to do with life, instead of what my parents

Sorry to hear it. Things is tough all over. Too bad we both can't be professional Jägermonsters.

Buggrit. It could be worse. I still have no idea what I want to do when I grow up.

I just want to be a researcher. And not even super high up....just...the Glassvitch to someone's Dr. Beetle, if you know what I mean? A few minions, but not high enough I have to politick. My mom wants me to go into sales, since I'm good at being persuasive, but the problem is that I can't sell something I don't honestly believe is awesome. I tried telemarketing for my local university, and it made me sick. I hated myself for it, and I can't blatantly lie to people about how awesome a product is....if I'm selling it, I need to think it's amazing. The majority of pet food companies.....*shudders* I would hate myself for shilling for Purina/Friskies/Iams etc. Working in research to improve products? Yes. Selling their crappy output when I wouldn't feed it to anything with a stomach? No. (And if you ever want to know what good brands are, let me know - there are some awesome ones out there

I would happily be the well-compensated minion of a suitable spark. Trouble is, they are few and far between.

No kidding.....I just want a Dr. Glassvitch-level position eventually...but I can't even get basic minion jobs.
