jobs are for everyone. but me.

The job hunt sucks balls.

So far this summer, I have applied to THIRTY TWO jobs, most of which are in the Hamilton area, a small number of which are in Vancouver. From these 32 jobs, I have gotten one call, and it was to sell something "helpful" to people in DEBT. No thanks, I'm not a scam artist.

I'm really still nervous about being dirt poor in Vancouver. I don't want to regret turning down Brock and its immense amount of money, where I would be comfortable and feel safe. I'm also starting to get nervous about spreading myself too thin whilst in Vancouver. If by some crazy string of luck I get a Vancouver job, how do I know if I have TIME for a job?! I don't really know what my life will look like as a Grad student. I feel like the smart thing is to wait to see how much time I have, but I'm worried it would be harder to get a job in like October than during the summer before the year starts.

I hate job hunting, and I used to love it. How can it be that the more qualifications I get the less successful my job hunt is?! How can it be so hard to get a job with an ECE diploma and a BA and lots of awesome experience???

Maybe I'm just shooting too high...
