Something was said to me tonight that made me think “Am I really being a bum for not having a job by now?” Or is the economy so bad, that many many people are unemployeed? It’s not like I am being a bum….sleeping in ’til 10. Actually I am staying busy. As I said before I’ve got this project going with the church computers. And just this past week I helped a friend get his business website up and going. So things are keeping me busy. Even though I may not necessarily be getting paid for all of it.
Part of me says that I can’t see myself doing the old cubicle job again. I’d much rather get out of the office instead of staring at a screen all day. Everyone is telling me to start my own webdesign business. But I figure webpage design is pretty fickle anyways. Sooner or later people are going to figure out how to make up a simple webpage. So I can’t put much stock into that career choice.
I’m feeling confused, frustrated, worthless, overqualified, and discouraged at times. Not one single interview. Not one legitament callback from a real life employeer. What am I doing wrong?
And do I care what people think of me?
