cynicism and greener grass

so. it seems that almost everyone i've talked to in the last week has had work woes. it has made me a bit depressed about everything, because, well, look at us all with our university degrees getting dicked around by a bunch of unappreciative slave drivers.

(well, actually, i love my job right now, my boss is a lovely woman and i'm totally appreciated. but i've definitely been in worse situations)

but yeah. what is it about us young educated kids with no direction, slopping around in the juices of the service industry? or perhaps the administrative industry? why can't any of us figure it out?

i guess it's just that none of us are really trained for anything specific. we have been educated enough to be bitter about minimum wage and menial jobs, but we are not trained to know what we want, or how to get it. what exactly did we think would happen once we pranced off with our bachelors of arts?

oh dear. i'm coming across as a bit of a bitter cliché.

i've just been looking into master's programs lately and feeling a bit...a bit... well, cynical. will yet another degree make any difference in my life's direction? in my level of success? of accomplishment? or am i just grasping at the university life-line in order to feel like there's just a wee bit of meaning to my existence?

sigh.

on the bright side, spring is coming!
