A New Way of Life
On the heels of an inspiring vote of confidence from my thesis advisor in the form of a “You will finish by December”, I have decided it is time to start seriously considering career options. So far I’ve begrudgingly given up on the possibilities of singing or playing musical instruments for money (since I can’t sing or even play the recorder) or working on Scribnotes full time and making money off of it (umm, if anyone out there would like to pay me to do either of these, please, speak up now). Instead, possible options might include: supply chain management (SCM), SCM software development, general software development (though I’d require more training), web development (uhh more training), general information technology support, logistics management, or perhaps some form of inventory management/control. I’m also not ruling out used car salesman, you know, just until the market picks up.
So, if you have any suggestions, recommendations, or kind words of encouragement to offer, feel free to share. Or if you just want to share your own job hunting nightmares, say your piece and be heard. Maybe you’ll scare me into trying to just live off my parents for the rest of my life. Or even worse – maybe you’ll scare me into the PhD program!
