Oh that's funny

You know, that whole thing about me being worried about which college to finish at? Well problem solved. I'm not. Finishing that is. Just for right now. Because to be honest I have done the research. Without a College Degree I can.

1. Hand out towels for $12 an hour at a resort in Captiva, FL, where the recipients of these towels at said resort, are parents of my former high school classmates, or hell at this rate, my former classmates themselves.

2. Maroon myself on the island that DIsney Cruise line stops at and be one of their merry little island workers, working (hah!) in the underground slave trade. They have reinvented the Bermuda Triangle. But don't worry. Every Sunday they have a staff BBQ, volleyball game and all. And you know how much I love games...about as much as I love rapists.

3. An Air Traffic Controller or Airline Pilot. Military service is a plus. I got nothin'. Must pass medical and drug tests, as well as a security clearance. Man.. That security clearance is going to be a tough one. But seeing as how I am not 23 years of age, nor could I pass the Federal Aviation Administration's test, I don't see how that could work out.

4. Mine Manager. They must plan mining procedures, enforce safety rules, implement
training programs... and more. Or so says an associated content article I read. I could just picture myself resembling Derek Zoolander as he ventured with brothers and pop to those crusty caverns. Waaahaaayyyyy more laughable though.

5. Nuclear Power Plant Instructor. Not kidding. I don't even know what that means and I could still apply. "Previous military nuclear experience is also a plus" What the hell does that mean? Yes. I was the one who pressed the go button and dropped Big Boy on Hiroshima. Twas I. Now will you hire me so I can not live with my parents anymore? Kay Thanks.

6. Casino Manager. YES. Finally something I can work with! "Superb People skills needed" Ok, OK , I'm with you. "Exhibit strong leadership" alright " intelligent" I'm clinging to that still. I always loved that movie Casino, it has more Glitter that Mariah.

Man, with all those options, I was a fool for wasting my time for so long! I can't wait to become a mine manager. Who knows, I may follow up on that dream to go to the Cayman Islands and completely start over.
My sister picked me up from the air port, bless her heart, and stops at McDonalds to quench my yearnings for my hourly diet coke. We are sitting in there, and she says " Look Caetlin, they're hiring. " Complete dead pan response from my face. "Too soon?"
So essentially, I'm home. Yes I'm that person we all talk about at Thanksgiving and quietly thank ourselves we aren't in their terrible situation. Wah wah wah I know, but, I have not a clue what to do with my life. I feel like a miserable townie.This shows you that you never can really judge or look down your nose at anyone, because you never know who's shoes you are going to end up walking a mile in.
