I'm really beginning to think getting my degree was a big waste of time and money. It has been two years since I graduated and I still don't have a job. I have put in countless applications and have gotten less than a dozen interviews. I just found out a friend of mine got one of the jobs I applied for last week.
She graduated in January! I didn't even get a fucking interview! So now I am literally sitting here in tears wondering what is so wrong with me that I can’t even get an interview! I’m just so tired of it all. All I have ever wanted to do is teach so I got my degree, but two years without a regular classroom so now I wonder what was the point? I’m tired of substituting, tired of waiting for the phone to ring to see if I will be working the next day, tired of the 5AM phone calls offering me a one day position, tired of submitting loan deferment paperwork every 6 months. I’m so far in debt with my student loans, it’s pathetic. But most of all I’m just tired of it all. It’s not even worth it anymore.

LB- I'm not sure what anyone can do right now. Unless of course you know of an open teaching position here in Colorado Springs ;) I appreciate the concern though and knowing that you are all hear to listen to me bitch about it helps :)
