Other stuff..
Even though I have officially paid off my credit card (YAY!), I have found out that I’m going to have to find a part time job or a full time job (and go to school part time) to be able to afford getting an apartment (especially since I think my Social Security benefits will be dropped very soon and that was bringing in $400/month)..
I went back to thinking of working at a Cord Camera..but then I was like, “I can do better than developing other people’s film at $6/hour!” So I looked around and I’m not too worried about fining a job after graduation because I notice there were a lot of opportunities out there that I could be paid decent in a job I would actually like..
As I was telling some friends (and have said in previous posts in this blog) that throughout my life, three major themes have been in my activities: Education, Photography, and Journalism/English..
I got and getting a degree in multimedia design and filmmaking because I felt I could make money doing it..and I CAN but I don’t wanna do freelance or work in a cubical 40 hours per week being told exactly what to do and do the same crap all the time..
I wanna job where I can initiate projects and techniques and work with people..and I want to be part of a team in some ways, and never want to have a job (like full time freelancing) where everything in the company depends on me..if I end up with a manager-type job or the head of something, I would like to be in a job where I can do my best, but their is always people in the company to help out where help is needed..
and if I can, use what I have degrees in a company of one of the fields I’ve always had interest in..
So I found some interesting jobs out there for web/multimedia work at a newspaper and other jobs that are for newspaper companies that look like fun (and have no education requirements, only exerience I already have through CSCC)..
So I’m hoping the positions are still open in the summer..one of the jobs (that I think would be fun) is full time (so I’d need to go to school part time and the money from the new job would pay loans) and they have a great benefits package including help with tuition! That’s just one option..
The more I talk to others, the more people who tell me to transfer to OSU for Journalism or English or something..and then get a teaching job somewhere and teach something in the field..
Isn’t that ironic? I HATED english in high school..6 years of honors english that I dreaded! Now, I’m actually thinking of at least focusing in English for my Associative of Arts (because the only other thing I would focus in is Psychology or some other Social Science and I’ve always said I’d never get a full time job in Psychology)..and maybe transfering on to get a B.A. or M.A. in an English-related field..
In high school, I hated writing for english (creative writing, etc.) except the year I worked on the newspaper and I hated reading the novels we had to read and didn’t care for most of it except for Shakespeare and Greek/Roman lit..
Since I graduated high school, I have been collecting and reading the literature that I hated and I love reading the stuff now..and even my AVP classes got me interested in creative writing..I noticed if I’m forced to write creatively, it comes out better than the fragments I’ve created..
But I don’t know if I’ll go to OSU..
Jess told Jaque and I about how this one program, HECC, can get it so if we were taking full time CSCC classes, we could go to other colleges at the same time for free..
I’d have to talk to an advisor to figure out which college in town would be quicker to attain a B.A. (like hopefully a year or so after the A.A. degree) then go somewhere for an M.A. ..I’m hoping it would be 5 years or less to do so..the degrees I have could help me have a (decent paying) job to get me through the rest of college..
SO BASICALLY…
I’m not sure what I’m going to do..lol..
All I know is that I can’t wait to graduate, get another job (hopefully on top of being a Senior Ambassador), moving out and taking fun (and hopefully easy) A.A. classes!!!
I hope that if there is any time in my schedule (I doubt it, but oh well) to still someday get that darn Book and Movie Club going..but that’s at least 9 months or so from now..
