Statistic No More Yet Still Going For More

Mood: Thankful
Music: The rustling of the leaves on a warm Saturday afternoon


As of March 16, 2006, I am officially employed. I am no longer a digit behind the decimal point of the ever-increasing unemployment rate. I now work for the NCAA as Media Affairs Assistant Coordinator. Thank God I got out of bumhood.

The job itself is not really that much of a glamour job. It's a far cry from what is expected of a graduate of an IT related field. My parents were not really too thrilled about it, but they were still glad I got a job. They were really expecting me to go for Accenture or something.

I for one don't really give a shit about getting a job that is related to my field of study. Being part of Media Affairs is more of a Communications degree-holder's gig, I know. But because of my experience in working for the Student Publications Office (SPO), I fell in love with the communications industry. For me, what's important is I love what I do.

And right now, I do.

I'm also planning to take another job because the nature of my current one is only part-time. The other one I'm aiming for is a full-time Editorial Assistant position at a magazine. I hope and pray that it works out, as well.

hey! congratulations on finding a job! let them criticize all they want, it's still a job, and as long as it's a clean, honest one, you've got nothing to be ashamed of! plus, you've taken that one step, and thus it'll be easier for you to take more steps, progress to leaps, and then finally take flight. ^_^

WOOT WOOT!!!
