Excerpts from a Diary

Job Search

I am currently job hunting. It is potentially the worst period in a new graduate's life. You spend 4 years, or in my case 5, being convinced in each one of your liberal arts classes that this was the field for you. Yes! you can go far as an English major. Journalism is the path for you!
What they don't tell you in the midst of Chaucer and Media Ethics is that 2 seconds after graduation you begin to have 2nd and 3rd thoughts about your life choices. Within a week you will be pouring over the Sunday classifieds. It is then you will realize that you are nothing more that a glorified secretary with no technical experience.
I have been riding on buses back and forth from Montclair and Newark, NJ. Everyday on the same route with the same people, handcuffed to the same job for the past 10 months, in an office filled with women.
I should have been a Theatre major, at least then there would have been more glory in the hustle!
