It's halfway through June and I don't have any promising job prospects, nor do I really know what I want to do in my career-to-be. All I know is that I would really love to move to Hawaii. And in order to do that, I need to have a job there, a job that pays enough for me to live there. Of course, no matter how qualified I am to get a job in a hotel or travel agency in Hawaii (between Japanese, Chinese and extensive customer service experience), there is still the insupperable difficulty of a potential employer's unwillingness to even schedule an interview with a girl from Albany, NY.
And why do I even want to live in Hawaii, anyway? I don't know...it's a whim. I want to break away, definitely have some time on the West coast, and sort of make a change from all the familiar scenes of my life. I know I don't want to stay here anymore. And Hawaii has excellent graduate programs, and it's closer to Asia.
So now, I'm thinking...what if I just move to Hawaii at the end of the summer? It's much more likely that I'll get an interview if I'm living in the state...I could find a cheap apartment in need of a roommate, and start looking, first for a subsistence job, and then for a career.
Of course, the move would be frighteningly expensive. I wouldn't be able to take more than the two bags allowed for a flight, I'd have no car, I wouldn't know anyone...
It's a horrifying and thrilling prospect.
At this point, this is all idle speculation. I'm sending out new job inquiries every day, and ten to one but I get at least a decent job offer by the end of the summer. However, if I don't, maybe I'll set out on one hell of an adventure!
Hmm.
It doesn't help that I've grown much fonder of Chinese than Japanese over the years. That just means that I need to hit the Japanese books much harder in these coming months. And this winter I'll definitely be taking the JLPT.
