I’ve been back in the
states for about two weeks. The
main goal has been getting unjetlagged and then looking for a job. When the whole job thing doesn’t work
it usually means I help with sawing logs into lumber or moving said logs
something along those lines. One
day last week I went and visited my college it was a very strange thing to be
back there. It’s strange in
general to be not in college actually.
I was one of those confusing students for everyone in the science
department. I ended up an environmental science major by default mainly because
it was science and I figured I could find something I would like to do. Boy was I wrong or at least until this
summer. Every aspect of my major
that I was exposed to (with the exception of GIS) I could not see myself doing
as a career. To say confusion and
a feeling of lost dominated my college experience when it came to finding a job
would be an understatement. Being
back at Castleton knowing what I wanted to do was amazing!
It’s a very new place for me to be in. Now almost four months
behind the rest of my friends I am joining the job search, and it sucks!! I have gotten so used to rejection that
I don’t even want to apply for jobs anymore for the fact I know I will get
rejected. Luckily it’s winter
hiring for summer rangers, temp employees and the like isn’t very high so I get
to enjoy what will hopefully be my last winter not being a full time permanent
employee doing something I love. I
know that my ambition will likely go down before it climbs again but I will
eventually get a job as a ranger some how. It may be years from now but I will do it!
