Job hunting sucks.
This sentiment was imprinted in my mind when I was a junior in high school looking for at part time job, applying anywhere from pizza delivery to door-to-door knife salesman. I eventually found a job but the hunting part really did nothing for me. Now, nearly six years later, I find myself in the same situation. Looking for a job, but this time there is a huge difference — I am now an adult. I’m job hunting for the rest of my life essentially, once I get a job I’ll start looking for somewhere else to work. That’s what being a “grown-up” means to me, a recent college grad.
I am in no hurry to start my perpetual job search. I just capped off the best four years of my life — according to every adult I’ve ever met — and do not want to jump into a lifetime of working.
I don’t know what I want to do with my life and am in no hurry to figure that out. One thing I do know, however, is I like to write and tell stories. Thanks to a promotion by JetBlue Airlines, I am going to travel the country and tell stories. I want to write about my experiences and the people I meet on my month long journey to find myself or more likely postpone the inevitable job hunting that I have dreaded since I was 16.
I will be going from Miami to Seattle and everywhere in between (maybe not everywhere jetBlue is pretty exclusive). On this journey, I want to meet people and experience everything the country has to offer and I’m going to try my best to share my experiences with anyone who reads this blog.
I have been given a rare opportunity to travel the country for one month and am going to take it while doing my best to bring you along.
