Undergraduate disappointment
I find that my degree is pointless, a piece of paper someone gave me to say that I did go to school. I don't use my degree, it just sits in a closet and collects dust. It makes me sad that I can't use such a wonderful skill like spanish in my job everyday. I want to strive to be happy in my job and be able to do more with my life to help not only myself but my children. I owe a ton of money for schooling that is not even useful at this point. I feel a little mislead because I was not given the proper instruction on how I could use my degree or how to obtain a job contoured to my skill set. So what can we do? I am trying now to use different avenues so that my degree may be useful but I have a lot of road blocks and obstacles in my way. I need to find someone to speak spanish with everyday so I can keep up on my skills. I am a great teacher and the girl I tutor every week has improved drastically since I have started tutoring her. I just hope that all the doors will open and I will be able to speak spanish on a daily basis.

Have you looked any further into joining an interpreter pool for medical centers and what not? I know it sucks, you know I sympathize. After 5 years of using my degree, this month has been tortuous.
ReplyDeleteYou do begin as you get older that your degree is really nothing more than a 60K post-it note that says you can be trained. It's nothing as special as you were led to believe when you started...
