The ones that got away

After being turned down for a part-time sales position by Spirit! The Halloween Store, I've realized that getting a job is all about who you know. Fortunately, everyone I know seems to be adept at career counseling! Here are a few golden opportunities that were presented to me, but have regrettably passed me by.

- IRS temp

- Sales associate at Delia's
- Cashier at local farm stand

- Medical coding and billing
- Production intern (awesome experience is your pay!)
- Substitute teacher/Teacher's aid

- Going back to school for a real degree*
- EBay seller
- Attending body piercing school
- Returning to old career in higher education


Am I too good for these ideas? Certainly not. Do any of these jobs pay enough to alleviate the crippling night sweats brought on by student loans and credit card bills? Certainly no
t. But thank you! I'll definitely keep your card.

My mom still doesn't understand what it is I do, she just gets mad because I make more money and can't talk about my job.
