My Game Plan

When the glorious day of graduation had arrived and a job had not, it became imminently important that I come up with some sort of plan in order to fill my time (productively?) after graduation. Up until that point, when asked "so what are you doing next year?" it was socially acceptable to have some sort of vague, avant-garde response about how the economy had derailed your plans and that you were gonna "see what happens".

I miss avant-garde because it essentially meant you got to ignore reality and plow right through under any sort of circumstance you may dream up. Of course the down side is that you end of making decisions based on those circumstance you dreamed up, and now you are what the rest of the world (operating under circumstance of reality) call dillusional.

And I miss vague. For some reason or other, I can't remember right now. You know? Of course you do.

Since my subscription to vague and avant-garde have both run out, I am left with a very serious and specific problem. Despite our education, experience, and facebook expertise, I and many of my fellow class of 2009-ers, seem to be unemployable. At least for the time being. (Hence the blog, duh)

My plan is to start fresh, in a field more known for its stable employment opportunities: health care. (Lets just hope that the new healthcare plan plays to my favor, because if not I'm gonna feel really stupid.)

So after 4 years of studying advertising, I spent my first summer out of college... in college. I took classes all summer and just this week I have returned to Chapel Hill in order to continue on with the prerequisites. So hopefully in a year, probably two, I can be ready to apply to PA school. God and stock market willing...
