With a masters I could teach at a community college, but unfortunately it's either spend the money on grad school or spend the money on travels. So far, the traveling wins out.Katrina Elisabethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083877882755665975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-57544789983521054612014-06-12T23:42:42.426-04:002014-06-12T23:42:42.426-04:00Thanks again SO MUCH for the nomination!

I'd encourage everyone who's on the verge of graduating to take a year off, travel abroad, work a bit, and figure out what they really want to do with their lives. That's such a hard decision to make fresh out of college! And you were attacked by a bat?! That's crazy! Lol - love your answers!

I really enjoyed the coursework for my English and Classics degrees, but it just didn't pay out in job-form. Plus graduating at the beginning of the recession wasn't the greatest timing either. It's been a hard fight, but am finally getting somewhere - just wish I could land a job that would combine all my loves: travel, writing, and politics!Katrina Elisabethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083877882755665975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-14926028562320703682014-06-12T08:42:22.655-04:002014-06-12T08:42:22.655-04:00Eek!

The thing that jumped out to me, though, was about choosing another major if you could. I think I felt like that about a year after college (and still sometimes, though not as much anymore). I think balancing the humanities out with a minor/second major in something concrete can lead to a lot more job opportunities. And if you really like numbers, you should consider getting an education in it (maybe grad school?)... That could help fund your travel dreams. As for me, even though I see the utility, I still absolutely would not want to do anything concrete like that, so I guess Communications and French are still what I would choose! :)<br /><br />-- <a href="http://www.erikafromamerica.com" rel="nofollow">Erika from America</a>Erika from Americahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01079473916722620673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-42720937466866951962014-06-11T12:12:19.271-04:002014-06-11T12:12:19.271-04:00I've been working on this post since Saturday,...I've been working on this post since Saturday, and at first I was drawing complete blanks on who I wanted to nominate! Finally got my head out of la-la land, though. :) <br /><br />I've hinted at politics before, but I haven't outrightly expressed my opinions here...yet. As dear as they are to me, I wouldn't want my political views to alienate readers with differing opinions. So unless it's expressly related to traveling (i.e., the coup in Thailand or the political environment in North Korea), I try to steer clear. My personal FB and Twitter is where I let all that out, haha!Katrina Elisabethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15083877882755665975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2304636801774028050.post-65568517354798525162014-06-11T12:00:50.228-04:002014-06-11T12:00:50.228-04:00haha, great answers! #5 is hard for me too, but I...haha, great answers! #5 is hard for me too, but I must admit I sometimes post political things... I just can't help it! But I think the last time I did my blog didn't have very many readers, so no one seemed to notice or care haha! If I come visit will you promise to take me to all those places (even the cemetery)??? Thanks for the nomination. I was nominated once before but I couldn't think of 11 other people to nominate. :/Julie Arthur // alonewithmytea.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810046816078845584noreply@blogger.com
