Almost One Year Post Grad

1 month ago 28

Next month will officially be a year since I graduated and I still do not have a job in any of the fields I wanted. Around March, I told myself that if I didn't find a new job by December, I'd apply to get my master's. Man time has gone by quickly... I don't want to go back to school though but I don't want to feel like a failure. I mean, I did get a new job around May and it pays way more than my previous job but it's still retail and I'm tryna get in the business/tech field, or a good-paying county job at least where I can move through departments and roles.

I'm looking at schools currently, may pursue an MBA or a Master's in Psychology, leaning more towards an MBA though. When I was in high school and during the first half of college, I wanted to go to law school but I changed my mind. I'm still trying to find jobs so I can avoid going back to school but honestly, I don't think my heart's in it. Those fields have never been a strong interest of mine until the second half of college and focusing on my future finances. I've always wanted to be an actress and even got an some callbacks and follow ups on open casting calls when I tried to pursue it during my freshman and sophomore year in college! Never got the roles, but I'm just thinking about the "what-ifs" if I still pursued it. Sorta wanna try again but now it's like I have other things I have to focus on. Things like getting a job with benefits and a retirement plan, woohoo. IDK. Feeling stuck but maybe that's how it is being a 23 year old post-grad.
