Decisions to make

Tweet

I have been without a job for nearly a year and am getting no where with the search for something else. I hear other people's stories of getting rejected for a job because they have tattoos or they didn't dress right for the interview or they just did poorly in the interview. I can't even make that complaint. In the year since I've been actively looking for a job (for awhile while I was still at my last job) I have had three interviews. And two weren't even real interviews. One was a mass meeting of all the applicants for all the positions that were open and another was a preliminary "can you work with this schedule, when can you start, we'll call you if we have any more questions" five minutes sort of thing. So, in all of that I have been looking into other options. I have been wanting to go back to school but haven't really known why. I found, applied for and was rejected from a really awesome writing program so now I'm shifting gears and looking at other things. One thing I've been considering is cosmetology school because I look at job ads every day and almost every day there are two or three new openings for stylists or cosmetologists so there are jobs available. My luck is that wouldn't be the case in 18 months after I finish the course... I have also considered going back to the university where I got my original undergraduate degree and getting a second Bachelor's degree in graphic design and photography because I enjoy both and would like to learn to do them better and because there is a lot of money in both career fields. I just want to do something more fulfilling than customer service jobs for the rest of my life.
