As most of you know, I've been looking for a job. It's proving to be harder than I thought it would be. I figured with all the retail positions open, I would be able to find something. I thought my age would help me out by showing some maturity, etc. To my surprise, with my age retailers expect and want more retail experience. I worked retail before, right out of high school an it isn't rocket science. I don't see why my years of experience in finance and my ten plus years in customer service doesn't make me qualified to work with clothes... Honestly. I am hopeful and I know I will find something when the time is right. It is exhausting to spend hours each day searching and applying for jobs. My brain is tired from spending an hour on a single application, only to get an email the next day saying 'thanks but we didn't choose you'. It's not overly encouraging.
I wish I could take this time and go back to school. That would be ideal, but due to previous choices with school, I can't get government help. I really would love to be able to go to beauty school! It's a 10-12 month program if you go full-time, but it costs about $10,000 and most private loans won't cover it.
So here I am... Plugging away to find a job, trying to solve the lifelong question of what to do with the rest of my life. I never knew it would be this hard... Financially, physically or emotionally.
