Work During College

I am at a bit of a stand-still as of late. I am low on funds, in debt, jobless, technically homeless, and a bit agitated.

I need a job and I need it soon.

I always admired the average working class. The people that can work jobs at McDonald's for years on end or even the terribly obese or smelly bus drivers that I grow use to from my daily trips to and from my college. Do they hate their job?

But that is just not me. I am not a blue collar worker. Hell I am not even much of a White collar worker.

Quick story (I promise):

Back during my first year of college I was seriously in need of some funds. I needed a job to get me through my first few months, but I did want work to be stable. You know it would be nice to have a job last through the end of college and then some if need be.

So I had two jobs that did not go well, well as far as curious employers are concerned I did fine, I just did not like the jobs.

Now the first job was working for an office that sold a shredding service to small and big companies, even individuals. My job was to cold call and do everything else that came with the package of sales. I call it the boring slumber of Hell.

Fun shit

Only problem with the job (That I found out 3 months later) was that I honestly found cold calling boring and a form of sadistic torture. Sure I got into it and had some minor success. But cold calling is well, cold. I would rather be at home playing an MMO for several months to only get pwned by another yet more powerful player to make me feel like Shit for wasting all my time grinding for no pay. But hey that is life.

Second job was working for the local theaters. Long story short the best part of that job was receiving a phone call for another job which I quickly left cleaning the shit off the theater seats for.

So now here I am jobless, poor, and soon to be in even bigger trouble if I can not come up with a couple grand to pay for college, my basic bills, and a fun DUI. A DUI is so much fun, you should try it...

Not!

sad face :( sad

Not so bad, but terribly annoying. And money, do not even get me started on money. I hate money and I hate working for it. I feel like I am starting Into The Wild ranting about money.

Although I love writing fun tid-bits like these blogs, but that is hardly a job (Well it is, but you know...shut up). Writing along with reading and speaking English in USA is pretty standard for most jobs above minimum wage. Well Fuck, guess it is no longer a skill but a basic necessity.


I have come up with a list of things I am good at though (Skills if you will or Shit I do):

Digital Videographer - This one is a keeper
Poet - Tis thee not a tree to be for he or she?
Essayist - 10 page essays in college? Fuck yea
Student - It means I am a great learner of knowledge and Shit
Comedian - I was almost called a class clown
Photographer - Some angles are better than others (Fuck it)
Gaffer - I am getting good (I think Giraffe when I hear Gaffer, Yatta!)
Telemarketing - I hate it, but I can do this Shit

Probably some others... Shark killer, African Slave Survivor, Lover, Sexual Healer, etc.

From these I have skills, I have talent, and most importantly I have experience. The real question though is do I go for a job more catered towards me or do I get a standard job that I can tolerate, but will most likely take constant bathroom breaks for puking out my soul?

It is really a tough choice. One way is harder (Technically it is what people do when looking for a full time career) and the chances of making money are 50/50. Where the other way I am guaranteed a low paying Shitty wage and to most likely hate it. I will not be another failed teacher.....gahhh!!

Money, Money, Money!





I'll figure something out though. I always do.
