I've been working for a few weeks now, and my body is slowly adjusting to the lack of sleep and constant going and going and going. The great thing is...I am enjoying every minute of it. I have an awesome boss, and I can listen to the radio all day long as I drive. I wish it paid more, but I am truly thankful to be working at all. I must have filled out dozens of applications before landing this job, and not one place ever called me. Not even McDonald's.
That's just sad.
I was reading online about different types of jobs that I might be qualified for, and to be honest, without a degree of some sort, the pickings were slim. I was even looking at a copywriters course, but I just don't have the time to devote to going to school right now. I wish I did. Maybe once the kids get a little older and I can find time to breathe. I read that copywriters can do freelance work, which is pretty awesome.
For now, though, I am going to continue doing what I am doing, and enjoy my job. I am also enjoying the fact that I am standing on my own two feet for the first time, and I am surviving. Sure, I have help from family and friends, but that's what they are for.
Right?

gotta say that even with a degree jobs are tight. A friend just graduated from college as a teacher and she has a job in a glorified day care... there are 6 others there with degrees too. The job market is just tight. Your best bet is networking. Someone who knows someone that has an opening is going to get you farther than a degree. Isn't that sad?
