Impact

So today we had the Company of The Year speak at my school.

Our company was Volvo.

And basically I was told to stick around my campus and the immediate area if I want to work for them, and I should want to work for them because they are growing, they are profitable, and they can predict future demands of construction equipment.

I don't want to work for them. I don't want to live in farmland. BUT I want a job. I want a job so bad and I could go to my alma mater for grad school.

So my options are ever increasing
-go home, find an internship and a part time job. Work and go to grad school
-work for a year doing whatever then go to grad school in Pittsburgh
-Stay at school, work part time and intern at Volvo for a potential future position
-Do nothing.

I guess I have 17 days to figure it out.

18 days

That's it. Only 18 days left until my life is over. Hypothetically speaking.

I guess I should explain...

I am a Senior Marketing Major. I Graduate in 18 days. My life as I've known it and loved it for the past four years is about to end. I have no job and no clue what to do next.

Before you jump to conclusions, I've done well at school. Honors fraternity, honors cords, dean's list. Extra curricular activities and volunteering. I've done the internship thing. Grad school was next, until I didn't take the test and it was too late to apply. Not to mention my lack of work experience. It is such a catch 22, you go to school but you don't have experience. You go to work and you don't have enough education.

So now, I have to figure out where my life is going in the next 18days. Or 14 because I'll be traveling on a bus to Alabama and Playing rugby for four of them.

18 days.
