why real life sucks

it's not college anymore and that is the pits. here's why. 

1. i dont get to wear jeans/sweats on a regular basis anymore. that's not business casual attire
2. the highlight of my day is scheduling tv shows to catch before i fall asleep after working all day
3. the money i make is to take care of transportation, lunch, to save for a house and to pay back grad school loans 
4. i'm older and i'm smart so my choices in men are significantly fewer now due to my standards alone
5. i have actual responsibilities and expectations at a "real" job
6. i'm losing interest in old friends and have little interest in making new ones because i know how people are and i don't really like people that much
7. life costs alot of money; money i dont have

when i grow up...

i wanted to be a doctor, a teacher, a computer engineer, a lawyer... now that im older and wiser i want to be all of those things b/c thats where the money is. however, the major that i chose has prepared me to do any job a 16 year old can do. so what the heck can i do with a psychology degree?

well i dont know because im going to grad school so i can do what i really WANT to do. that is, what i can deal with having to do. meanwhile, i need a job. here are my favorite job search sites, most of which you may already know:


monster.com- i like the beta search application. it's a quicker way to search and narrow or widen options. 

careerbuilder.com- i dont particularly like this site but it was the first site i used for job hunting. very easy to use. the company profiles are usually helpful. 

opportunityknocks.org- this is a good site for those interested in working in the non-profit sector. 

idealist.org- another non-profit opportunity listing. this site also allows you to search for volunteer and internship opportunities. you can list your own non-profit for free as well. 

experience.com- not very great as far as the job search if you are a social science major. really good for business, marketing, sales, engineering interests. however, there is excellent career advice and other resources.
