So I have this...thing...that I do every day. Not quite a compulsion, but it might be getting there. Every day I check the blog Hyperbole and a Half, you know, just to see if it has been updated (almost never. Break my heart, why dontcha), and then I check a few design job boards.
Here's the problem. I have a job. In fact, I have two and they both pay well and I really like them. Oh and he job boards themselves are for international/highly experienced designers. If I was checking them out to see what skills I will need when I graduate, or to learn about te job market, that would be one thing. However, I looks at the jobs and think "ohh! London! I want to go to there." or " hmm, Memphis. I like bluegrass today. Maybe I'll move there." and then the real trouble starts. I start looking at housing in different cities and try to see how much it would cost to move. which would be a very bad idea.
I just got out of think I really might move. I had looked at design programs all over the US and England. I had tried to figure out if I could afford to move. But the truth is, I am stuck here in LA with my awesome jobs, and beautiful weather, cool roomates, and good program. And a travel bug that won't let me BE!
I was never a patient person. Having to wait is just about killing me. But I tell you what, as soon as I graduate I am applying to every ridiculous job I can. I just might get to live abroad after all.
Time to see if hyperbole and a half has added a new story...........curse you!
