Depressed

One of my aunts that moved to Atlanta told me that it is hard to find a job there unless I live there. That really brought me down because I'm so ready to leave the state I'm in. I applied for two jobs and got an email rejection from one and is waiting on the decision of the other. They are the same job but in two different cities. I applied for them the same day.

My job is becoming worse and worse. The drama has become ridiculous. It's becoming a toxic environment to work into. I have talked to other assistants at my job and many of them are planning on leaving after the year is over. I honestly hope I can find a job within 5 months.

My mom wants me to take the Praxis tests and become a certified teacher. It's not something I want to do because that is not where my passion is. The education system is going down the toilet and everyone will pay the price.

Soon there will be charter schools and the assistant principal told us that a teacher's retirement may be affected. Why should I get into a field knowing my retirement may be affected in the process.

I honestly want to give up. My life is not going the way I want it too. I'm 24 and I'm still living at home with a dead end job. If only I didn't switch majors this would not have happened.

I have now learned the lesson that it's best to get in a career what makes you money, not what you are passionate about.

Dejected

The job I've been waiting to hear from has filled their position. I've been looking and I feel as if there are NO jobs out there for me. I feel like I'll be stuck being a caregiver for the rest of my life. I need to realize that I only just started the process again and I have until August to find somewhere else. It took me about 6 months to find my current job. I have to stop believing that I'll get another job sooner  because I have work experience.

InboxDollars

So as of yesterday, I have made $3.75 using InboxDollars. When I activated my account, I immediately received 5 bucks. Adding that to what I did make, I have $8.75. That's not bad. A friend that referred me to InboxDollars has made 37 bucks using it off an on. At this point, any money is good money. I would love to make a living online, but I know I have to have the right resources and time to do so. Maybe when I can find a better job, I can focus on making it more than residual income.

Although trying to make money online is fun, I am still focused on finding a better job. So far nothing...

Make Money Online?

Since I am currently looking for a job, I told myself that I might as well try to make some money online. I can  barely make ends meat so it wouldn't hurt to make an extra couple of bucks for awhile. I have a friend that's sending me a link to Inbox Dollars. I think I tried them before but nothing ever came of it. It doesn't hurt to try again so why not.

I may start chronicling my journey trying to make money online as well as finding a normal paying job. I guess we'll see how it goes, huh?

One Job A Dud

I called a job I applied for two weeks ago, and I was told they never had any openings but were accepting applications. Great... I wasted my time on this job for nothing. That only leaves one job I haven't heard from and to be honest, I'll probably get a rejection letter from them soon or nothing at all.

I have two aunts that are living in Atlanta, GA and two more will be moving there soon. The two living there are already looking out for me and nothing so far.

So far I have until August to find a new job. That is the time I want to move out of my mom's house and when the new school year starts.

I feel like it's harder to look for a job employed than unemployed.

I just hope there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Transferred Out Of Classroom To Another

So when I last updated this blog, I was working with six handicapped children. Well, a couple of weeks ago,  my boss transferred me to work one-on-one with another handicapped child. Unfortunately, the situation at work has gotten worse. Not only with me, but with another assistant I am working with. On Friday she was reduced to tears.

The situation will not get better. I know that for a fact. I've talked to other assistants and they are making this their last year unless things changed. The teacher I am currently working with is also thinking of putting in her resignation. I know one teacher for a  fact is leaving. I wonder how long it will be before someone snaps...

In other news, I am single. I'm still trying to get over the heartbreak. The only way I can see this as positive is the fact I am saving money. No more 2 hour trips twice a month as well as 'lovey dovey' presents.

I have officially started back job hunting and I already received a rejection letter in the mail. Now that I have job experience, I'm hoping something will pop up.
