1. Become a "team member" at a KFC.
Pros: free fried chicken when the boss isn't looking
Cons: Minimum wage under terrible management.
2. Start a taxi cab service.
Business plan:
a. Buy a really cheap beat-up vehicle
b. Paint it school bus yellow so that people know it's a taxi
c. Perform other necessary repairs and maintenance to get vehicle up to taxi-cab status
d. Deduct all expenses on schedule C of tax return
e. Live life like it's CRAZY TAXI.
3. Be a stay-at-home mom.
I'd be responsible for taking the kids that I won't have to soccer practice, cooking delicious meals, and replacing the Glade plug-ins when they start to not smell good anymore.
4. Go into government work.
Pros: I'd be like Leslie Knope!
Cons: I'd never get a pay raise!
5. Start materializing all my Business Ideas and proposing them to patent attorneys.
Mike and I actually came up with another one today: scratch and sniff scantrons.
6. I could do random jobs around the city. Like- I could be a poll worker.
Funny story- true story:
People have to report the income they get from working at the polls, so they get sent a little slip that tells them how much they made, kind of like a mini 1099.
On a couple of tax returns I've done, the papers that the government provided said "Pole Worker".
I lol'd because that's like another name for a stripper.
You would have had to have been there.
7. I like farms.
8. I could be a DAY TRADER.
I could just sit in my apartment, drink coffee, and sell and buy stock all day long.
9. I could sell insurance.
Haha- no I couldn't. I'm not even completely sure how insurance works, and I'm really bad at selling stuff.
Except for candy.
I'm uncannily successful at selling candy.
10. I could be a medical billing specialist and work from home!
I'm not really sure what this is about, but there are always ads for it in my Sudoku book.
I'm burned out, guys.
Like- reeeeeeeeal burned out.
I've become this very unpleasant stressball with a minimal appetite and stupid sleeping patterns.
Why else would I be blogging at 2 in the morning?
Sure, I got- like- amazing grades on my last two tests, but that no longer makes me happy.
Like what am I really accomplishing by making good grades? Why do I always have to go that extra flipping mile?
Before it was to get money for scholarships or to be outstanding in a group of job applicants.
Now I just think I have a personality flaw.
Side bar: writing is what I'm REALLY sick of doing, which is ironic because I really enjoy this blog!
Studying I can handle, but it's writing long, stupid papers and current events and proposals and cases about my opinion that teachers just really skim for grammatical errors instead of content that I cannot stand.
The amount of research that is involved is atrocious.
And heaven forbid you double space your citation- OH GOODNESS NO.
And that, folks, is where all my weekends go.
So besides the first 10 ridiculous suggestions for occupation listed above, I would really like to start looking for real, good accounting jobs where I could make a fine buck doing what I like.
But will I?
Take the road you want to take because you want to take it.
Yes.
TWS
Not a personality flaw, but a personality asset. I was once told by a construction worker that I would make a lot of money some day because I was a hard worker. So it's not that the grade is important to you, but rather the work you put into the grade. And that's what makes you awesome, and will make you very marketable.
ReplyDeleteThanks man. You're really awesome, too. I really hope this hard work does pay off!
