After a considerable hiatus, I am back to blogging—probably as a form of stress relief. I graduated with my MA in May. Since then, I have applied for countless jobs, gotten a random customer service job, quit a random customer service job, and gone back to teaching Composition to college freshmen. All of these changes have made my life a little more complex. My graduate experience made me feel like I did not want to go on to get my doctorate. Part of that decision was because of the expense. I could make so much money during those five to seven years, right? Well, that isn’t really working out. So now I have to make some difficult decisions.
I’ve been told that I am young and free; I have so many options open to me. All I have to do is grab them! It sounds so easy, but it is proving to be less so. The doctorate is back on the table (if only I can get in), but I am investigating other options too. I am enjoying teaching a lot, so Teaching for America is on my list, as is getting my teaching license from the university where I am teaching now. Just yesterday, I applied for a part-time job at a public library so I can see if that is an atmosphere I enjoy. I’ve been told I should try veterinary medicine, so I am looking into applying for some part-time jobs in local vet offices as well. It is time for some exploration, I guess!
