I was told throughout middle school, high school, and college that it's important to be a well-rounded person. Apparently, this doesn't matter at all in the real world of job hunting. No one gives a damn if you have a million skills unless you are proficient at one. And what makes one proficient, i.e. an expert? According to my job searching, the answer is experience. The problem is, how am I supposed to get experience if no one will hire me?! Ugh.
Again, job searching provides an answer: Do an internship.
However, I've not yet found an internship that will pay enough for me to scrape by on student loans/life expenses. Most internships do not pay at all.
Thus I am led back to the conclusion that I need a job to pay for a car so I can get to and have an internship which will lead to a big girl, high paying job. At least that's the plan.
On a side note, my mom says that most people simply call themselves experts, and therefore they are. Wouldn't that be nice? I don't know if I can do that. Or get away with it.
