But there isn't a way to make them work…at least not within any reasonable amount of time. I have to get a job in something now that makes enough money to survive with a little left over so I can save towards a house. Housing is fortunately cheap where I live. I'm going to apply for a couple jobs at the local newspaper…not writing jobs and not jobs that probably pay much. But at this point, I can't wait around for a job I want, I have to just go with the best I can get. Although, with the degrees I have, they probably won't think I'm qualified either, but I guess I'll try.

This was all supposed to work out eventually because originally I was going to teach. But I don't want to teach anything outside of private lessons and it takes a while (it may be impossible where I live) to get a decent return on your efforts. It's a supplementary income anyway, not primary. This was all a stupid idea…you should NEVER go after what you like unless it's medical, IT, programming, or engineering. I wasted 7 years of my life and I'm skilled and talented in two areas that are completely worthless: music and writing.

Oh these jobs are of the clerical/editing type…but beggars can't be choosers. I have too much pressure on me know to stop wasting my life and make a living wage to keep waiting around for something good.
