Thanks guys :\ Yea I gotta expand out of NJ. I've been looking at NYC but I guess I'm a bit overwhelmed by how much there is, and how to narrow it down. I can't send resumes everywhere or every job, but given my "eh" GPA and lack of experience, I don't know how qualified I am for anything aside from administrative assistant. Plus I gotta compete with all the NYU/Fordham/Columbia kids.....In addition to all the other college students that would live closer than me. Plus hiring season for accountants ends basically.....now.

Its really hard to not take it too personally when I sort of rely on other people in the business to tell me what kind of professional I am, since I really don't know. Feedback is really important to me right now since I'm so new, and I'm either not getting it at all, or its totally conflicting based on who interviewed me. So then who am I? Now its turning into an existential crisis. And not to mention all the rejection makes me feel like I'm a total failure. But the existential crisis part is bad. I mean that's been a long standing issue for awhile, but now that I'm getting depressed its starting to impact how I view what makes me worth something.

I've gotten kinda good at limiting my rants I used to write pages, but I get so frustrated sometimes that writing novels just makes me even more mad. But yea. Thanks for listening and sympathizing, guys....
