The Good and the Bad

I'm going to start with the bad. That way I can end the post with the positive...or at least that's the plan. So yet another job has been denied. I went through 3 interviews and a test with one place just to be turned down. I don't understand it, I even had experience with the computer programs they used. I've applied to other places: banks, stores, etc and I can't even get call backs. Every time theres an "assessment" I never do well enough. Just what are these people wanting? A person with an education, who busted their ass to do well, get good grades and try and be a good person at the same time. So instead of that, these places are going to hire some high school drop out who spends their money on booze and weed. Now between those two choices I know who I would want working for me, but I guess because I have a degree they all think I'm not willing to work for minimum wage. While I'd prefer not to, I know that's about all I can get. I'm just so frustrated, I've looked in 3 towns and got nothing. Just what am I supposed to do? I've got bills to pay like everyone else and even though I live with my parents, I only have 250 to my name...that's not going to get far, esp when it takes me 40 to fill my tank which i have to keep filling to get to these interviews that go no where. Well today I picked up a packet to apply to be a substitute teacher....lets see if I can get that at least.

Enough of that, the good-ish news is that I was accepted into an online masters program for library science. While I'm really excited because this is something that I really want to do with my life, that's another 20k for another degree that's going to make me even less qualified for jobs. Ok well I guess that wasn't keeping positive for the end...but that's kinda hard to do in times like these I guess. I'll try to write more soon.
