No mint juleps, fancy hats and horses for me. I had to turn down a trip to the Kentucky Derby. I hate having to be responsible, but it's only a month before graduation and I might need that money for a number of things: rent, food, student loan repayment! I got that scary letter in the mail the other day....Loan capitalization and first payment due June 20th. Crap. That's a $55,000 bill I'd rather not think about. Was a Master's degree worth it? Someday I hope I can say yes. Right now it's keeping me up at night. The pressure to find a job is kinda disheartening. Most of my friends from my M.A. program have graduated in the last two quarters and one has found a full time job and it took 4 months. Those are scary odds.
Right now I'm taking a "Career Development" course through the Career Center at school. The last class was to prepare us to be good networkers. I think we all know you get the job because of who you know...not what you know. So here's my blatant plug: I'm an experienced facilitator with personal and professional international education experience. If you or someone you know needs a hard-working, detail-oriented, passionate and soon-to-be ex-grad student for a job in the international education or study abroad field, I might know just the girl! She'll be available for employment after graduation (June 4th)! Willing and able to relocate!
