Conundrum



I need a job. Well, I really need two jobs, but one is really all I can hope for right now, if that. Pretty soon, I'm not going to be able to pay for anything. This includes my student loans and my credit card debt. If I can't pay for those, it is going to destroy my credit. If I have bad credit I can't buy a house or a car in the future. More pressing is the fact that I don't even have a lot of options for jobs. When I went to college I was told that any degree I got would GUARANTEE me a job when I got out. Well, four years later I have a BFA and am overqualified for jobs I could easily get, and underqualified for the jobs I was promised. Now they require a Master's degree. I almost feel worse off for having gone to college. Especially out of state. Not that I'm not grateful for the experiences and all the people I met, but I seriously have zero luck on the job front. I had better chances in Washington, but no money to stay. There aren't any jobs in California, but I can live here for free. What am I supposed to do? I'm seriously considering just moving up to Washington to find work. I don't know if anything will come of it, but I'm feeling really compelled to go.
