I know what you're thinking: "What do they do all day? Are they even applying for jobs?"
Let us answer that for you now. We'll start with the short answer: yes. Now here's the more detailed description of exactly how far we've reached beyond our fields of experience, or even interest.
Kelsey has recently applied to be a Professor of Biology at a local community college. You should've been here when we had to whip up a mock lesson plan for that application.
Norah has recently applied to be a Horticulture Instructor at the Botanic Gardens.
Kathryn has combined both of these positions and has applied to be a Professor of Anthropology, and Horticulture assistant (in which case she would be colleagues with both Norah and Kelsey).
Fox has an internship which recently started PAYING her (!)....
$8/hr.... but we're not a house to complain about wages. Way to go, Fox!
And we're gonna cut Greg some slack since he just arrived here two days ago. Good luck bud, the market's a little tough right now...
Whole lotta good this did us... |
Although our spirits may waver, they haven't broken and here's hoping to a Spring full of job opportunities and positive thinking!
I commiserate.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, I know JUST how you feel. And am even MORE in the poor house with the loans I took out to get my "overqualified", overlooked, underpaid, useless masters degree.
So, any good babysitting jobs available out there?
