aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
my husband has applied to a bunch of stuff but nothing has happened yet
Kill me.

M.P.A. so, Public Administration
ask me how many cities are hiring right now.
actually, I got it because the uni was close and it would help in the pursuit of loftier higher ed. positions
but schools aren't hiring as much now also, and the positions available go to wayy overqualified people that've been around longer than me

why waste the afford
Not a problem, right? he's just the ass, we've got the main VD to do all of that not my job, right?
Oh wait, the Ass. VD was covering times then the VD couldn't make it to rehearsal.
Oh hey the only other people qualified to VD are Me and my Assistant(The Ass. Music).
Hopefully my assistant will cover enough that I don't kill myself, but stupid job.
Also abbreviations for theater are hilarious.

Might be transitioning out of software and into outsource management
I've got spreadsheets and roadmaps
I got my MPA in May as well and I'm having the same issues. The one position I had a shot in, the town laid off like 25 people so hiring a recently graduated female former intern would not have looked good.
I'm basically doing work for free.
And then they barely have any work for me so I spend 7 hours or so a day surfing these forums and chatting with some friends waiting for some job to appear.
tell me more that sounds good

Now that I'm not drinking, and thus could care less about my weekend nights, I think a bar gig Thurs - Sat. night would work pretty well. Doorman or barbacking.
dude that hired me for that got a kick out of hiring a guy w/ a master's to wash windows
don't get me started about that goddamn job
and i don't mind manual labor or working hard, not the issue

using my B.S degree (lol)
it is boring as fuck but I make more money than i would makin coffee and i get benefits so yay
also resume builder for grad school
1) How long does it take to get from Argentina to Bolivia
2) Is Romania still under Soviet control?
It was recommended to me by my professors. I'm probably going to try and get on the campaign for one of the folks running in our special election as well. That or say fuck it and go to law school and go through this again in a few years.
2. That depends on your definition of both "control" and "soviet"
I did this with two positions and I regret is completely.
i honestly don't feel that a master's is more valuable than experience right now
but i could be wrong
