Over the past few weeks I've had the opportunity to interview for several internships and temporary positions. However, for one reason or another I haven't been able to acquire a position yet. Luckily I can afford to be jobless for another few months, a perk of having worked before starting Grad School.
But let me send you through my frame of mind now. With the high number of interviews and no positive results, it does get frustrating. Currently I'm having a bit of a panic feeling that I have chosen the wrong field or am not as good in this field as I thought. I've been thinking that taking time off from my job and going to school full time may have been a poor decision and I was poorly advised. (Place stomach-wrenching feeling that we all know here).
Most professionals, so young in their career, wouldn't make such a drastic alteration in their life such as I have, to quit their position and just be a Graduate Student. I'm realizing that getting back into the field will not be as easy as I thought.
But if my human relations course and Twitter hashtags are teaching me, is to keep working. In the end I'll end up where I'm suppose to be.
I'm reading a book for a class, "Man's Search for Meaning". It's absolutely phenomenal. It really puts things into perspective and has a raw and honest truth about it. It's been a huge help to put things into perspective and on the thin top layer, how to take advantage of low points in life. I advise you to go out and read it. When I finish the book and write my paper on it, I'll be posting about it so, heads up, some good stuff is about to come down the line. :)
