Note: I really need to know why guys are SO MOODY. What the hell? I swear, guys get PMS worse than girls. Agree? Disagree?
NEW TOPIC, that of: the endless job search. Like I said in my Passion post, I've been applying (or trying to apply) to new creative-based jobs on an almost-daily basis. I started another unpaid internship in Chestnut Hill shortly after returning from San Francisco to see one of my best friends. So far my main responsibility with this tiny non-profit is to overlook our Facebook presence, which is fun but I'm still working on trying to get more people to be active on our page. I finally had a phone interview the first week of this year for something I applied to...back in OCTOBER. So I think I botched it, not remembering even what the position was. Whoops. Applied for another two jobs at the Philadelphia Museum of Art over the last couple of months, applied for a *real job* at the same company that I'm currently temping with, but in a different department (which would be the marketing floor)...so hopefully I'll grab that.
Most importantly though, I'm going to attempt getting my MBA, with concentration in Public Administration. As much as I'd love to go back overseas, I need money for that - and I don't even want to think about how much in loans I'd need to take out. Besides, what else would I major in that would be both practical and interesting? In an ideal world it would be doing Museum Studies - but would that REALLY give me an edge in getting a job? Besides, with that sort of program I feel like I'd have to be there full-time, which I don't think I could do again without having a job on the side. Or what else...History of Film? Great. THEN what do I do. If there weren't already a billion film critics everywhere, or if there weren't already endless books about classic film. No matter that an organization is a "non-profit", they still need to make money to survive - thus, somebody with an MBA fits wherever.
Partially related: it annoys me to an unfathomable degree when people ask about what I do/want to do, then go "Ohhh I don't really care about art." Is it just because I love it so much that it irks me, or is there truly something wrong with that statement? If you like any of the following:
-TV (no matter what programs, as much as I hate to say it);
-movies of any sort;
-kitschy things like lawn flamingos;
-knickknacks, such as those damn "Precious Moments" figurines;
-and you have a certain style of what you prefer in everything...then that means you like art in SOME form.
