Stuck In A Rut

Well, the semester's over and now I'm on a (seemingly) never-ending job hunt. Oddly enough, the movie "It's Complicated" got me thinking about what I'm going to do with my art major. No, the movie has nothing to do with art-related jobs. However, she has this big yard with a huge, beautiful garden and I suddenly realized that my art degree is not going to pay for that. So I starting thinking about other things I like to do that I could tack on as a minor. I came up with writing and singing, both of which would make me no more money than Art. For a brief period, I found myself panicking about the choices I've made so far and how they may effect my long-term future. Naturally, I texted Taylor and consulted facebook, both of whom assured me that I'd find a job. There are a lot of options for me. I'm still browsing the minors page on the U's website and will have to get some advice from my advisor though. Maybe I'll teach, open a gallery, be a curator, design and build theater sets, sing, or throw everybody for a loop and become a pastry chef. Who knows!? All I know is that I'll love what I'm doing. And I can deal with a small garden.

On a side note, I stumped a guy friend when I proved to him that I know more about tools than he does! He didn't know the difference between an angle grinder and a die grinder...and who says tools are for boys?

  2. Hey Swiss!

    I wouldn't sweat this stuff too hard. It helps a lot that you're talented, hard-working, and friendly!

    Also, I'd like to meet your pastry chef friend. She looks feisty and fun-loving!

    Shine on!
