After three years of attending college, I know I will face the difficult decision: whether I stay in Ohio or leave to go to another state. I don't mind attending an institution and/or pursuing a job in another state but I want to stay in Ohio because my family is here. Everything I known and grew up with is in Ohio. That is the main reason I stayed in Ohio for my undergraduate studies. I may not have a choice in the matter. I do not want to limit myself in my job search though so I might have to relocate to get the best opportunity available.
Going back to school next school is crucial and every step I have will hopefully determine where I go in the near future. There are all kinds of factors that play into the job search in the near future, some of which have yet to be determined. I know that I have my professors to relay on as well as my Career Services Director at OWU. These people will be huge and can bring in a variety of people to help my future. I have a lot of options but right now, I need to gather my thoughts, continuing tweaking my resume and just take things slowly.
Leaving my family worries me a bit but this may be inevitable. I would like to think that I am marketable skills and that my experience in several fields and as a near future graduate of OWU will give me somewhat of an advantage. I am still learning and will closely monitor the job market. Maybe I will end up in Columbus where a lot of my friends are. Maybe I will end up in a foreign country like how other friends are right now. As the days pass by, I cannot help but think of my future.
No pictures this time around. I am gearing the camera and myself up for my big adventure down South to Alabama in less than two weeks. I am visiting family in Birmingham and Mobile for the beginning and the ending parts of the trip. In the middle portions of the trip, I will be attending Circle K's Large Scale Service Project and International Convention. Until then, I am taking it slow and laying low. I just had to write down something this week and my anxiety for an entry level position in the near future was urgently on my mind.
Realizing I can't change the inevitable (work) as I finish my college days,
