Why is getting a job so hard?
I’m not supposed to be in this position. My grandfather’s advice to me when I was 4 still echoes in my mind with every rejection letter: “Study hard, get a good job.” I studied as hard as I could but the second part has eluded me. I’ve exhausted every single angle. Personal references, on-line sites, walking right into places and asking if they’re hiring, and everything else in between but yet no paycheck is being deposited.
I look at the economy and I could point my finger but what’s the point? Wouldn’t pointing the finger negate the theory of the American Dream? The irony of doing something you love is that when you initially start it, there’s no money. I love what I provide for others, but my copycat tendencies don’t equate to riches. I think I know all the right answers, but I’m young so I think I know everything, but does that make me wrong?
