Job Woes

I am now done with my internship and my undergraduate career. WHOOP! I have been looking for a job for about 2 months now and have not found anything. I have a college degree and cannot find a job. This is very frustrating for me. Especially since I just went three months without earning a penny.

There is the big question of whether I should find a part-time or full-time job. If I went part-time, I could get out of grad school faster, but I would not be making very much money. If I went full-time, it would take longer to get out of grad school, but I would be making more money. The ideal job would be a graduate assistantship through the University, but all my contacts have fallen through and I cannot find one. This would be a part-time job with benefits and my tuition paid. That would be nice. ...but right now, I don't really have a choice because there are no offers!

Due to the lack of job and the impending end of my internship, I decided to paint my grandfather's house. I love painting. It is relaxing for me. Last summer I painted the windows at my mother's house, so I have some experience. The inside of my grandfather's house has not been painted in some 25 years, so I expect to see great improvement when I am done. This is why I like painting. He has chosen a color, Cool White, which is a very, very, very light green. He wanted something almost white but with a color in it. I was a little worried about the color, but it looks good.

Eric and I prepped the back bedroom on Friday and I started painting on Saturday. I finished the entire room!!!! Painting was the easy part, I don't think the furniture in that room had been moved in 25 years. Use your imagination...

Now I am starting to believe that God hasn't given me a job yet because he wants me to finish this job. It looks like it might take me one or two weeks. Half of the house has paneling on the walls, so it isn't has bad as it sounds. Maybe I should just become a painter with a bachelor's degree in health education.
