lost nest: home redefined

Approximately 1/3 of people ages 21-29 are either unemployed or severely under employed. As victims of circumstance, we are all making changes to survive. Our priorities are changing along with our lives. This is a blog of how my friends and I are surviving. Many of the comments are meant to reflect the specific moments. They are not meant to reflect an entire generation or to be definitive statements. Please share your stories or thoughts on the comments or submit your own post.

Freaking Out!

I am freaking out. My life is getting there, but still stuck in a rut. I am more than 90% certain that I want a job. Jobs require experience, and the jobs I want require internships. I knew that going in. I totally knew that. Problem: I am working a standard 8-5 job that will not allow internships. To make the money that I need to make, I either need two part-time positions or a flexible full-time position that will allow for an internship.

The other alternative is going back to school. I want to get my Ph.D. eventually. Eventually was always the key word. I want to work before I go back to school. I feel like I have to. I can not get good letters of recommendation at this point. Maybe I could... however last time, they were not good enough to get in.

AH!

What am I to do? Staying in Florida is not an option. It is not, nor can it every be one. I must leave. I have to continue in my career.

Well, This is what I have so far:
  1. Retake GRE's in June
  2. Save up $3,000
  3. Go to Baltimore, Boston, or Minneapolis
What do you think? Honestly!
