Career Chaos

Like most people in their mid-twenties, I too have been thrusted into this thing called Adulthood. And honestly, it has been the most ghetto experience OF. MY. LIFEEE. Adult-HOOD (emphasis on the HOOD) is literally the worst neighborhood to be in. I want to go back to the safe suburban gated community of Childhood.

Aside from being hit with my student loans, I have had to comb through the chaos that has been figuring out my life. While bills, medical expenses, and just over LIFE, have been crashing through my door, I have had to contend with banging on the doors of these dang jobs to no avail.

I honestly can’t believe I wanted to grow up!

I can’t believe I wanted to be an ADULT!

I can’t believe I have NO CHOICE but to Adult for the REST of my life. I ain’t even ask to be here!!

ANYWAYS…

Now that I have finished complaining, (for now), let’s get to the point of this section of my blog.

SO I have been quite disappointed with how my career has been going. From feeling stuck, to not getting the kinds of jobs I want, I have felt scammed by life. I was told by Apple (Apple is EVERYBODY) that after interning in college, doing study abroad programs, and doing research that I would have a nice sparkly job waiting for me. However….actually, Heartbreakingly (idc if this is a real word or not but it will work for now), that has yet to happen.

In the heat of my frustration I decided to channel all of that energy into creating OffGreenThumb.

As an extension to the Out ‘n About section, I am going to be documenting my efforts to build my career in the environmental space. From the job-hunting process to even my failed interviews, I am going to be pretty vulnerable over here. Like I’m actually throwing up internally at how vulnerable I’m going to be…

…but I know it will be worth it.

I figured that turning my pain and process into a story could possibly serve as encouragement and maybe a resource for someone else. PLUS, I’m hilarious AF and I will ALWAYS come with the comedy so we can all enjoy a hardy crackle as I cultivate my career.
