Penny pinching
My search for what the next year of my life will bring continues. And as it does, I come to a sad realization: I have no money.
This is quite unfortunate. It really limits what I can do here in Charlotte and elsewhere. I prolly was a little too much of a free-spender in college, and I now have no cash in-flow. Parent's money and RA paychecks were nice during college. Those are now gone. Thank goodness for graduation money.
So, spending a lot of time doing free activities and looking for part-time work. Might sell myself over to FedEx for a while just to make some change as I wait on some long-term possibilities.
Those? Teaching English in Japan, a sports related job, a job in a law firm (in that order, with 2/3 all but tied), or, the rank outsider, a job in the journalism industry.
Each of these has its advantages and disadvantages. Unfortunatley none will be making me a ton of money any time soon. With Japan the leader, and with a job offer from a Japanese school that sadly does not pay incredibly handsomely, I am left to save up money for a potential plane flight and a first month there in which I'll have to support myself pre-first pay check.
Adds up to a pretty uneventful summer. But things would pick up when I land one of said jobs, I'm sure.
The search continues.
