It's a jungle out there.

It has been almost a year since my last post, and for my excuse I say, "It's a jungle out there."

My last post was about a month after finishing grad school. Since then I have invested my energy in advancing in my job and licensing as a therapist. This achieved, I should be a happy 20-something enjoying my young career.

Except that I'm not. For all those living under a rock, let me enlighten you: there are no jobs available. There are no jobs to be found. All the promises in grad school of "becoming a therapist" upon getting your diploma became transparent to me after the first month of job searching with no luck. There are few if any jobs for what you want and those that exist have a horde of applicants so large, you'd have to be Einstein to get them. Good luck all.

Except bad luck all! I deserve the job! Here I am licensed, ready the be therapeutic, without any options. So for all of you who think a grad degree or a license is all the hard work, it isn't. It's just the beginning. Remember the excitement of finally getting into college? Finally getting into grad school? Finally getting your internship? Finally graduating? Finally licensing? Still you have nothing. The most important step: finally having a job.

That pays you what you deserve? Let's just cut our losses at employed.
