In an effort to make myself feel better about my life, and less like post-graduation I'll be hurled into a swirling void, I'm looking up job postings online. If I convince myself that I can get a decent job after graduation, maybe I can go back to imagining that I have some control over my life.
Current "Research Assitant" positions listed on Monster.com include:
Lab Assistant at Manpower in Salt Lake City Utah.
I laugh, but the position pays $14.85-$16/hour. Why, oh why, did I not go into the "hard" sciences? "Do what you love" my ass. I love paying off my loans!
There's also an Assistant Product Metallurgist position open in Toronto Ohio. I know it's a real job, but it still makes me giggle. I could apparently work as a quality assurance manager.
On a more serious note, I think I found my dream job. If only they'd hold it for me.
