Let me start off by saying that I am going to go a bit off topic from the wedding, but I promise that I will have another post about the wedding things I accomplished over the weekend. I just really want to write about the main thing that is going on in my mind right now which is school. Since I only have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays, I literally have 2 days of classes left then an exam week. It is crazy to think about that in just three short weeks I will have finished my undergraduate career.
What is freaking me out even more is the fact that I have no real plan after I finish. I don’t have any doubt in my mind that I will be graduating this December. However, the fact that I am realizing that I really have no plans of where to go next is freaking me out. People will ask me what are your plans and I honestly have no answer. I mean of course I want a job in my field. I don’t want to work at FedEx Office for the rest of my life, but I am having the worst time trying to find a job in my field that doesn’t require three or more years of experience. Then jobs that don’t require experience end up being sales jobs in marketing which is not what I want to do.
People will ask me what kind of field do I want to work in and again I have no idea. I really would like to work in public relations or something public relations related, but have no clue as to what exact job I would like. I can say I would rather not do a job that is primarily special events nor do I really want to be in nonprofit. But I am starting to think that is exactly where I need to start off. ~1. You get so much experience there and 2. I feel like nonprofits will take on someone with little experience. I just really need to push my job search into high gear. Because as grateful as I am to have a job that pays extremely well and I can get benefits at, I am just so miserable there. I literally dread any day that I have to go into work and you shouldn’t feel that way. But it’s a job and a well paying job at that so I deal.
I just really hope I can find a job preferably before the wedding, but if I don’t as long as I can hopefully get out of there before next holiday season I’ll be a happy camper. Although, Mike (the fiancé) says that if I couldn’t get out of FedEx Office before next holiday season that maybe that would be a blessing in disguise because by then he will have graduated and we can relocate. I am hoping that we both can find something here or relatively close to stay in the area, but we shall see. So those are my concerns for the day and will be for the next few weeks and beyond. I just wanted to share those with you all.
