Personally, I would have liked to become Stephen Fry, or at least some kind of latin equivalent. Or at the least, been sent 1000 years into the future. TO THE WOOOOORLD OF TOMORROOOOOW! Not gonna happen though, so I'm stuck in my new profession of delivering pizzas. Now here's the kicker. I'm a trained dental assistant. 4.0 GPA, President's List for the trade school I was at, never missed a day. (Well save for one, but I even the dean admitted that being arrested makes for a compelling case to excuse one day, and I did make up for it) And despite my knowledge, what I know, what I can do... I still can't find a damn job as a dental assistant.
I really wish there was someone I could complain to about this. I really hate to make this sound like some tired little diatribe of my own life, that's not what I want this blog to be about, but goddammit our country isn't really doing any better. I'm the only guy in my graduating class that doesn't seem to have landed a position, and it's not for lack of trying, believe me. I've tapped out the entire valley and it just seems to me that I'm getting nothing. Hell, I might have better luck just going to another country and trying there as opposed to the nonsense that California is stuck in. Hell, at this rate the whole damn state is going to be just hacked off from the rest of the Union like a gangrenous limb, much like Escape From LA.
In any case, your Resident Mexican is delivering pizzas for 8 bucks an hour. Plus tip! Yaaaay. Here's hoping something crops up, I did get word that a full time temp position is opening up in December, so I just need to hold on I suppose.
