Working Life

So I know it has been a while since I posted a blog, but all shall be revealed hereunder. I just visited my friend Marika's blog and thought it is a great way to vent frustrations.

My Frustration is working life. I feel as if I am trapped in suburbia where your sole purpose is to earn a living to sustain a mundane life, as a starting salary will never afford you the luxury yacht cruises your aspiring heart dreams of.

I spent last weekend in grahamstown for graduation and it was a wonderful experience. As I drove in on the Greyhound (as many would know I did more than often enough last year!) I had a serious case of nostalgia and just wanted to be a student again! I also sadly realised that I am not the party animal I was back then and things have changed, people and lives have moved on, and so must I.
I received my Bachelor of Journalism and was proud as punch of myself. But know the tricky part is to use it. I am finding it incredibly frustrating to find a job as a journalist in PE. A recruitment consultant told me that in 20 years she has never placed anyone in a journalist position. But, not all hope is lost...

A few weeks ago a local drama studio asked me to run a two week radio drama course and it was a phenomenal experience. The pay was good too :) but it wasn't about that. It was the opportunity to put my skills to the test that really made it all worthwhile, not t mention the thank you's from the class. I will probably be doing another course in July again which I am really looking forward to.

At the moment I am working as a PA for my brother and I have discovered my Admin skills leave something to be desired, so I guess I should stick to my "forte". So let me start working on my CV. I will have more news soon...
