Back in the day I used to think blogs were a fag way of saying journal or diary. I used to also think college was unnecessary and my farts didn't smell. Trust me when I say I was wrong on both. It wasn't until recently I realized just how important school and education really are.
At 26 years of age I felt like my life was going in the right direction. With minimal job experience I was able to retain a job as a field surveyor for Verizon making as much money as my mom did with a Masters. I felt like I had hit the jackpot. Plus, I had done it all without paying an arm and leg to go to college.
So after months of the same repetition of sending cover letters and resumes to job openings and being denied I've resorted to plan E.....Going back to college. Guess I've realized the importance of having a "Bachelor Degree" on your resume. It couldn't hurt right?

It was hard to have a worry when, with the swipe of my debit card, all could be taken care of. It was clear sailing for me until about mid July when I was given my 2 week notice and told I was being laid off.
"Sorry kid you're a contractor so you're the first to go," barked my supervisor over my company phone. "Don't worry this layoff will only last till the first of the year and you'll be back in no time." You could tell by the tone of his voice he was full of shit. I can still remember my first thought after hearing him break the news to me, "What a shitty way to end a monday."
