I’m told that it’s silly that I keep applying to writing and editing jobs - what I’d like to do with myself. It’s true, I just need ANY job at this point, but I’ve had my share of retail jobs that were fine experience but not at all what I wanted to do for a living. I was told that I have to put in the time to see results. I’ve earned my B.A. and I’ve been writing since I was 9, I even took journalism classes at the local community college after graduating just so I could get more experience with that end of writing. Despite my regularly applying to jobs, four or five last night and I’m currently working on a cover letter for another, it’s somehow my fault for not getting a job and being stuck in my current situation. Apparently I have choices. Choices that others would make for me. Sometimes friends don’t seem to know how to care appropriately. And I do need to do something drastic to change my situation but I just can’t bring myself to be rejected from another coffee shop or grocery store for being over-qualified. I’m so over-qualified and so under-qualified that I’m just stuck in this jobless place where everything is up in the air and everyone wants answers about what I’m going to do with myself and I desperately need to move so forgive me for sometimes crying because it’s all too much.
