I've decided I'm going to start looking out of state for a job this week. So far it's not very promising. I keep finding nothing but stuff in the medical field and upper level IT jobs. I don't have any real IT experience and nobody is hiring entry level. I still feel just as lost as I was in College. I have no idea what I really want to do in life and I kinda feel like I'm just picking a direction and walking til I find something. I even looked at the city jobs in the states I was looking into and they either pay dick or don't have anything in my current field available. I guess I just gave myself delusions of grandeur at an early age. Every year I get really bummed out that I'm not making big money or "successful" in my eyes. I always thought by 29 years old I'd already be on a career path. At the same time I know a bunch of people that are worse off than me at my age...maybe I'm just better at managing my spending. One of my co-workers has been doing the same job for 30+ years and plans to just ride it out 8 more until retirement. The idea of doing my dead end job for 40 years is like making a conscious decision to roll over and just accept a bland existence. If I had any damn sense, I would have just enlisted in the military after high school and trained in something with civilian applications. That idea went out the window the moment I was diagnosed with UC a couple years ago. I guess I just wanted to vent... hopefully getting IT certifications will help me along the way.
