My debt sentence...

This pic has been floating around Facebook for a while. So I don't know who to give the proper credit to. If anyone knows, please let me know. I have my Bachelors and Masters degrees. I was lucky to get some scholarships and grant money for undergrad that did help out for the first two years or so. Then I had to go the student loan route which is fine. It is what it is. My payments after I graduated undergrad weren't too bad. Then I had the "bright" idea of going back to school to get my Masters. Again I went the student loan route. I did what I was "supposed" to do in terms of getting a "good education.  But what do I have to show for it other than a bunch of debt?

Fast forward to now...it frustrates me, stresses me out and has me questioning my self worth, the two times out of the month when I pay my student loan bills. I'm like what did I got to school for, if in turn I have to pay X amount of money every month? To think what I could have done with that money. And I'm not talking about frivolous stuff either. I have things that I serious NEED to do. I feel for those who are paying more than what I'm paying on a monthly basis. The whole education thing is so azz backwards in this country. I could go into more detail. Maybe in another post. I need to see some real change on the whole student loan debate. People out here are really hurting financially due to the whole student loans debacle.  All from doing what they were "supposed" to do.

Sorry if my thoughts seem all jumbled. I typing this on the fly and very much upset. Ok next post will be more upbeat since I've been all serious lately :)  Stay tuned...

I'm DONE!!!

So I am officially done with grad school!?!?! *cart wheel* *cabbage patch* *running man*

I've submitted my last discussion posts, responses and filled out course surveys! Phew!  Now I don't know how to act.  Not looking forward to theses student loan payments again :/ Dah well.

Now let's see what the future holds!!  I guess I'll blog more...yut oh LOL!!

Riddle Me This...

With the ups and downs of today's economy and the fact that no one's job is guaranteed do people who currently have jobs have the right to complain about how unhappy they are?  I ask this because I am one of those people who does have a job.  Now I have been on the other side where I have been laid off and was on underemployment (which I fought tooth and nail because I just knnneew I would fight another job in  no time).  Now let me just say that I am thankful everyday that I have a job that allows me to take care or my wants and my needs.  However I am very very unhappy in my current job for various reason that I won't go into.  For those of you that follow me on twitter you have "heard" my rants LOL!  I have been looking for a new job but of course with the current state of the economy people aren't hiring as much as they used to.  Also looking for a job is a job in itself that you have to crave out time on a regular basis to do. 

I remember seeing on Twitter or Facebook someone post something along the lines that how being in a position where you are pretty much miserable is a hindrance (not sure if this is the right word I'm looking for) to you as well in terms of your overall mood, physique  and even your health.  I can say that yes I do my work but I'm just going through the motions.  I am at the point where I don't care.  Now my job isn't one where someone's life is on the line but still this is not me at all!

Another thought that has come to mind and I've seen various articles about how since companies have had to tighten their boot straps so to speak that when and if the economy does turn around they are going to continue to to more with less in terms of staff and resources.  So where do that leave people when it comes to jobs?  I'm currently working on my masters (almost done wooohoo).  Throughout my coursework there have been times where I've been like why am I doing.  Of course this thought would come at like 2 in the morning when I'm trying to finish an assignment lol!  I have various personal and professional reasons as to why I wanted to go back to school.  I've even contemplated getting a second masters.  Not going the doctorate route.  Nope not gonna happen!  I've questioned as to whether or not is this going to benefit me when I've know people who have the education and the experience and they just can't find work.  It's kind of a scary thing to think that you put in work and effort to make yourself "competitive" in the job market but in the end it may not be enough.

Ok I think I've rambled enough :)
