Some Thoughts

So, I've been sitting here for the past two months, well, not literally sitting here, but every now and then, I sit and think about my unemployment status. I think to myself, "Marcella, you have been unemployed for two months and really have no desire to go back in to the field you were in. Actually you are content being a full-time Master's student and holding out until the perfect job in education comes your way." Is this normal?" Should I be so happy in this state? Have you ever asked yourself that? Actually, those of you that are currently unemployed, have you ever found yourself perfectly content in the state you are in? I mean seriously. Now don't get me wrong. I am not referring to those lazy people who have never had a job, are not looking for a job, are not in school and just enjoy doing nothing. I am really talking to those people who are making career changes and won't stop until they find that job that enhances not only their life but another person's life as well; those people who have worked in corporate America for years but finally got a break to reflect on what they really want to do. Doesn't it feel good to be able to take time to make a decision about your next move and not feel pressured to just take anything? Let me help you out, IT FEELS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was talking to some friends yesterday and I could not hide my excitement about not needing to get up on Monday morning to clock-in to a job I hate and does nothing to benefit society. I remember saying to someone that I would work at a grocery store before I go back into the corporate world. It's ugly out there and can be very depressing. I feel blessed to be where I am. Everyday I am searching for new work and I get excited when I see things like Career Advisor ($29K/yr) or tutor ($9/hr) because I know just working in that environment I would be able to impact another person's life everyday. So to all of you out there trying to get back into the corporate world just for a check I would ask, "Is it really worth it?"
