Unemployment Woes


Now, what happens when you've just graduated from college..... and you think that maybe higher studies is not something you want to do...... atleast for now....... you would think that there are tons of options......
you could travel around..... go backpacking...... enjoying the benefits of youth that is free of the shackles of responsibilities....... do things you only dreamed of..... eat things you may never have dared to...... talk to complete strangers and share with them a page of your life, knowing that you may never see them again...... and take back with you a lifetimes experience.....
you could also decide that maybe its time to give back to the society...... enroll yourself into such an organisation....... and lend a hand to any cause....... you could spend time in an old age home..... maybe rehabilitation work...... or if you feel humankind is unworthy of charity - there are a multitude of endangered species you can give a voice to........
if your still looking for something different...... you could take up a new hobby...... pitch into the family business....... learn a new language...... do a vocational course........ or you could just do what I intend on doing - getting a job!

But heres the tricky part....... you cant exactly go and sign up for it or buy it from the market (it sucks, right?)...... you run around all day long...... or just sit on your derriere all day long....... waiting for a phone call or an e-mail....... and with the current state of your luck - its a service message or spam!....... and you sit at home, eating yourself off your non-employment status...... and the worst part is..... when you try to take your mind off of it...... you have ever complying relatives who talk about a 'silver lining' that is long overdue....... and friends give you the 'hang in there' speech - the fact that they are employed after rejecting multiple job offers, doesn't really help!..........
so... here we are....... not knowing what to do next........... thinking whether we should have just taken a hike somewhere...........
