Lately I have been praying that God help me get out of this "stuck" feeling I seem to have. Ever since graduation I have been looking for a job but it's hard because...I'm a little picky. I mean, I'm open to a lot of things but there are just certain jobs (like fast food) that I asbolutely refuse to do. Not to mention I'm not 100% sure what exactly I want to do!
My degree was in theatre because I love to perform and write and my passion is entertainment. However, I must say that I regret pursuing a degree in that field. I do love theatre and everything about it but in terms of finding a career, the degree doesnt help at all unless you want to teach theatre (which I don't). Another regret of my college experience is not getting more involved with the theatre program. I auditioned for several plays but only got cast once...as a dancer. They never really saw my talent and passion for acting. So I got discouraged and disinterested in being involved with what seemed like a very close knit and unwelcoming group of people. Despite that I decided to keep it as my major because there was nothing else that I could see myself being that interested in to wanna major in it.
Anywho, since graduation I have applied at so many places including restaurants, movie theaters and clothing stores. But even after a few interviews, I've still had no luck...except for one job. I got hired to work as a flight attendant! I'm so happy about it because it means I get to constantly travel and all I have to do is assist people. I was supposed to start training this month but they require that you have your passport first and since I dont have that yet, I have gotten it pushed back to May. The only catch is now that once I'm done with the training, I have to move to Chicago! But that's good for me I think. I've been wanting to move away from this hell-hole known as St. Louis for a long time! So right now, that is the plan A. Plan B is to move to Los Angeles if the flight attendant thing does not work out for whatever reason. I have family there that has offered to help me get on my feet if I decide to move there so why would I pass that up?!?
In the meantime, I am trying to find something to do until May to take up my time and put some money in my pocket so I can start saving up. There's a possibility that I have a job as a teacher's assistant at an elementary school in my district and I should know if I got that or not by tomorrow or Tuesday. Aside from that I am just going to continue helping my grandparents around the house and whatnot.
A new addition to the plan is that I have decided to attend film school next year! I think it only makes sense to go back to school since my first degree basically means nothing and film school is the best option for me. Ever since I was little I have always made movies in my head, based my life off of movies and been obsessed with watching different movies. I would say that is my real passion. I just had no idea how to get into it. But hopefully film school will help me learn everything I need to know AND help me find a job afterwards. At this point, I'm trying to start in January since app deadlines for the fall have already passed. Plus that will give me time to work as a flight attendant and enjoy that career. No matter what happens, I am just trusting that God has a great plan for me and it's for my best interest!
