So you just graduated, you must be good at rejection..


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!
