so I turned 23 awhile back and am pretty depressed that I'm at this point in my life without securing what I'm doing. Looking into a lot of graduate programs in Industrial Organizational Psychology. I'm thinking I may have to get a master's first then go for the ph d. We'll see what happens.
Still looking for a better job. Hoping to get this research job in the Speech Research Lab...they're looking over applications this week so hopefully I'll at least get an interview. Here's hoping.

Hey dude, don't feel bad. At least you aren't getting ready to turn 27 and haven't graduated college yet.

Yeah and I'm thirty and.... well I have no bitches but at 23 I was pretty fucked when it came too my path in life. At that time I had no idea what I was going to do, had no money to better myself with, had debt, a part time job as a low seniority waiter at Uno's and lived with my new in laws with my impregnated wife. At 23 from this day I have only known the for four months and they only new me as the guy who knocked up their daughter when she was on vacation. Now things are good, life has a way of coming together as long as you actively try to better yourself every year. Just going to school does that for you.

Well I didn't even get an interview for the Speech Research Lab....I want to go back to school, but I'm very concerned that I won't get into any graduate programs without that research under my belt, which is why I'm dying to get some experience. Don't even have a backup position for the summer yet....and only two weeks left of school. This is getting very concerning.

so hell came early for me. My computer broke two weeks ago and cost $450 to fix. Then my car wouldn't start and I was worried to hell that it would cost a shit ton to fix but when I towed it to the mechanics they said that it started right up for them and they couldn't find anything wrong with it...oh well...hopefully it'll be okay for awhile because cars always cost a shit ton to fix!! I have three days left until I'm unemployed and because my computer was gone I couldn't apply for any positions...now it's back I'm gonna have to get my resume and cover letter together to apply for 4 jobs...here's hoping that I get one of them....at least an interview would be nice...we'll see what happens.

Good luck with the job thing. Have you tried Monster.com? I haven't had any luck with it, but my brother has.

Still applying....still waiting...I'm getting pretty pissed off. I keep looking at websites to see what I can find, and find nothing that interests me. Maybe I'm being too picky but I just hate the idea of having another job that I cannot stand. I want something that I enjoy, or at least will aid me in getting into grad school.

I understand that. My mother has made quite a few open positions that I would hate to work. She suggested warehouse positions, and even suggested a position on an Alaskan fishing boat when an ad for openings appeared in our local newspaper.

Yeah, I'm just not about doing something I know I'll hate.
I've applied for a Case Manager position at the Center of Behavioral Health...maybe that'll go through.
