WorkingGirl: Settling In
Posted by Alison, "Working Girl" - 26/08/10 at 08:08 am
Editors Note: Our lovely WorkingGirl has been at it again. And “it” is well, trying to work! Catch up on her story here!
Pt 4.
Getting into this luxury goods job, I thought I might be over qualified and have a hard time relating to other employees- I’m such a snob, I know.
Well, actually, these sales people are quite possibly the most awesome group I’ve ever met. Not only is there a fellow Nittany Lion, but I also work with fashion stylist, a government contractor, an admin assistant for a senator…
Then there’s me- The struggling opera singer. Who feels foolish?
This girl, right here.
Pt. 5
During this whole process, I have started to jot down my favorite quotes from interviews and friends:
“Isn’t it a shame to realize your degree is useless.” (uuuuh… to whom?)
“You’re in the Arts? Oh, I’m sorry- The Arts so disrespected in this area. Good luck.” (How do you even respond to that?!)
“Maybe you should consider getting another degree..?”
(I have 3 and I’ve only been out of grade school a month… give a girl a chance!)
Life is a lot like those Twix commercials. You know which one I mean….
