Princess? No way I want to be a vampire!

When did life get so damn hard? Bills, bills, and more bills. Work and more work. Finding a job that can actually support your family is a monumental task at best and I am getting sick of hoping. Here I am at 31 years old and a grad student. At age 28 I completed my AA in criminal justice. At age 30 I completed my BS in Psychology. When I turn 33 I will have completed my MS in Mental Health Counseling. Just who will want me then? Agism is a very real thing and not just for people in their 50's and up. What do companies want? I can tell you....they want twenty somethings right our of college. What they DO NOT want is someone like me; in my thirties, a mother of 2, little experience in the field. That is what employers see in me. What they are missing is my life experience, my talent for helping people, and my utter dedication to my passion. They MIGHT see that if they would allow face to face incounters but no. What do I get? A website to put in an application that they can glance at and toss into the reject pile. I will be the first to admit that I do not look wonderful on paper. It is when I am able to open my mouth that I can sell someone on myself but that is a rare chance indeed. And I will tell you my favorite line from prospective employers that I do get the chance to actually speak with..."You have the education but not the experience." Well thanks a lot! I have enough education to know that I am lacking in experience but tell me just where in the hell am I supposed to get the experince if no one will hire me in the first place? Which brings me to my next fav employer saying..."You are over qualified educationally speaking." Wow! Who knew that would be a bad thing? EXAMPLE:I applied for a position as a HAB tech in a mental health facility. Granted the job only requires a high school education but hell I was told I needed experience! I was turned down for having too much education! Personally, I would much rather start at a low level, low paying position that I am WAY overqualified for and work my way up through experience gained then sit here wasting away with 3 degrees and no one to hire me except a freaking home health company which by the way pays crap and gives little satisfaction. So now I am forced to consider the fact that I have wasted the last 5 years of my life and a ton of money getting a steller education only to wipe peoples asses for minumum wage and no respect. Nice thought huh? Where is my happy ending? Why can I not be like my precious vampire characters living in a huge home, sitting on mounds of money, and having nothing to do but love each other with each passing moment of their forever lives? I swear to God if they were real I would seek them out and force my way into immortality. Living forever sounds fantastic if you don't ever have to worry about where your next months bill money is going to come from! I would not mind going to high school over and over again though if I was turned at my age I could probably start up my own private practice and spend forever doing what I love to do as I do not think anyone would buy me as a high school student. So, if I ever find out that there is even a remote chance that vampires are real, I am packing my bags and heading to Forks. Yeah, its a long shot but if I can't dream I may very well loose my mind and that would be very ironic seeing my choosen career path.
