It's about two years since i graduated and I'm still in the same town doing the same non-degree related job. nothing in particular wrong with either the town or the job, both are alright but that's the problem. what am i going to tell the grand kids about my twenties? That they were "alright"? Crap-tacular. Anyway seems a waste of all that time in college and i miss the lab, wearing a lab coat makes you feel smart i think, which is cool and good for the old ego. So option 1) get a new job that involves the degree or option 2) go back to college and into grad school.
the problem with option 1 is of course, interviews, anything from a half-hour(bad) to an hour of trying to listen to/talk HR speak. you know they're talking crap and they know you're spoofing but goddammit we'll sit there pretending like we don't. I mean how can they sit there listening to rubbish answers to "where do you see yourself in 5 years?" and keep a straight face? my track record just hasn't been brilliant so far. and finally suits, i mean i look like a complete eejit in one.. eh, well more so than usual which is why there's....
option 2) the PhD way. not sure if this is really an option or is just here 'cause I've got a limited imagination. Might be just out of habit, I've been using the ''oh i was thinking of doing a PhD'' to deflect family, friends and the odd total stranger when they ask what I'm doing with my life for so long that it's like a reflex. but it would be interesting.
