as i began to realize that i didnt want to teach, i also began to realize that i was going to have to find a job doing something. see when you graduate from college there is no more health insurance. no more monetary support with the excuse of "you're in school full time." a job was necessary and without the "easy" option of applying for teaching positions, i was forced to try out my other options. needless to say, without going to med school, nursing school, or through more lab and research technician courses, the options were actually limited for a biology major. i started applying for as many jobs as possible online for which i was qualified for or interested in. there werent many. i set up a profile on monster.com. all i got were a bunch of spam emails.
then came the offer of working with a woman that my mom use to work for at an oncology office in mt. pleasant. the job was a receptionist. not exactly putting my major to good use, but a full time job with benefits. i spoke with the woman in charge of hiring, set up an interview, and got my resume together. at the actual interview one of her most important questions basically inquired as to why a girl with a degree in biology and education would be interested in a front desk receptionist position at a doctor's office. the truth was i wasnt that interested. to me it was all temporary. i was gonna be gone in 6 months anyways. she automatically sensed that, but then again i knew she would.
