• And I thought I had it figured out by now

  I’ve gotten so put off by the results of my job hunting as of late that over the past week I was strongly considering going to graduate school in the fall instead of dealing with all this hassle.  I figured that I could just work part-time until graduate school starts up in the fall of 09.  Over the weekend I’ve even started to look up area graduate schools that I could go to.  I was leaning towards getting a masters in I/O psychology at UMBC, although I would have to go to the Shady Grove campus in order to do so.

  Now all of the sudden I’m back to square one.  Remember a while back I was looking into working for USTA?  I got so close but didn’t get it?  Well, looks like I got a possible second chance to work for USTA.  The thing is…it would be the Middle States office, which is located in PA.  If I’m lucky enough to get this job, I wouldn’t be able to commute there so I have to move there.

  Working for the USTA is one of my dream jobs, so I wouldn’t mind it if I have to move in order to work for them.  It’s not terribly far (it’s about 2 and a half hours away) but far enough that commuting would not be logical. 

  I thought about this all day.  On one hand I’ll miss being away from family and friends.  On the other hand, it would be refreshing to start over somewhere new. 

  So yea, first I need to get this position before I think about the details (I learned my lesson from the first time haha).  Until I’m absolutely sure I’ve been hired, I’m gonna continue looking for graduate schools.  Just wanted to give people a heads up in case I disappear from MD all of sudden .  Ah crossroads…love them and hate them at the very same time.
