Intern Chick

Go to college. Intern. Graduate college. Intern.

Wait, what??

So it's probably not the "normal" path to take, but who said I was a normal chick?  My options are this: Option 1: Sit at home waiting for a job to be created that matches my qualifications.  Option 2:  Intern again and create a job for myself.  To me, the choice is easy on paper.  In real life, it's not so easy.

You know how when you move on to kindergarten from pre-school and you no longer have nap time because you are now a part of those effortlessly cool big kids?  For a long time now, I've been waiting for the moment I can move up that short ladder rung from intern to entry level employee and be a part of the cool kids.  Its not that I didn't enjoy being an intern, but eventually, you just want to move on and move up.  And for me to have a college diploma, and go back to interning?  Its basically the same feeling I got when at 4 years old, even though I'd passed the appropriate tests to be admitted into kindergarten, I still wasn't able to go because I wasn't old enough.  I passed the test of college, but I'm still not allowed entry to the big kid playground.  

I'm trying to look at this in the best, most positive light.  I think of all the opportunities that I can create for myself while interning that just can't come to fruition well I sit at home watching "Gotti's Way" re-runs.  When I think about it like this, the choice is an easy one.  I can do what I love doing, even if its not the path you're "supposed to" take.  God have mercy on the person who tries to belittle me for doing it.
