G'day Everyone.
There's a small part of me that wishes that I was on a college campus again and hitting the books. It's no fun going to school. But people do it for a reason. One has to believe in hopes that employment will happen the moment you graduate from that college / university. But like many of the millions of people who are out of work here in the USA, the job market has been tougher than ever. Since 2007, it has been a very bad job market. What happens if you graduate from that school and no job happens? Then you have a very expensive loans that *HAVE TO BE PAID BACK* pronto. Not an easy thing to do for anyone out there.
As much as I'd like to go back to college for one more degree, I just don't know. Money wise, I'm better off not going back. I've done my time. But I am going to keep up the job search as much as I can. NTID has a job fair on October 14, 2009. There's a diversity job fair happening in Washington DC in November.
Gallaudet has a job fair on September 30th, 2009. That is to say IF THERE'S NO PROTEST happening at Gallaudet University against the selection of the next president. Many of us job seekers remember the day of Fall 2006 when the protesters took over the campus gates and disrupted Gallaudet University. It effectively damaged Gallaudet University's relations with the area employers who want to hire alumni and graduates of Gallaudet University. Since then, President Davila has already issued a threat of arrests if another protest happens this fall. While many of us do not like the choices that the PSAC has given this campus, it will be a critical moment in history for Gallaudet University that the right person is selected. It is not a popular vote. It must be done correctly. Let's hope things goes well by the time Homecoming 2009 happens.
Enjoy the weekend. Semper FI!
