This was the first summer in about ten years that I didn't have a summer job, which really surprised me. Two of my previous employers asked me to come back and I originally declined because I wanted to get a real job, but by the time I changed my mind they'd already filled my position and didn't have any others available. I even called them back repeated throughout the summer and they had nothing. I've also applied for nine jobs at the hospital and was so desperate for a job that I even applied to fucking Walmart and haven't heard a damn thing. I'm incredibly frustrated, because it's the first time since I was 15 that I didn't get the very first job that I applied for, or receive an offer without even looking for one. I actually gave up looking and just drove back to Oswego to hang out with my friends who are still in college and help out with the Aikido club for three weeks.
Seriously, being a job hunting college grad can just kiss my fucking ass right about now.
I even thought that some jobs would open back up when all the high schoolers and college students went back to school, but it didn't happen because all the student jobs have been taken over by old people.
Also, my first student loan payments are due in a couple months and I have no idea how I'm going to pay for them. I can't even postpone them because I have no grad school plans yet, and even if I did, this is the worst time in recent history to be a competitor for grad school because all the grad schools are full because none of the other recent grads found jobs either.
AND I'm stuck living with my parents again, along with 60% of all other 2008 and 2009 graduates.
