So over the weekend I decided that I'm not going to start "work" (aka career, aka real life) until September 2008.
The impetus is three fold:
Fold one, I have the chance to go to the Olympics in August, and I don't think the kinds of jobs I'm looking at include 2 weeks vacation after less than a month of work.
Fold two, everyone I know is stressing out so seriously about consulting jobs/TFA/other jobs that have conventional time lines, that I think I might do well to just check out of the job market, rather than stressing so far in advance (especially as Lisa - my supervisor at MTV - said there was no need to apply more than two months before my desired start date).
Fold three, I've spent pretty much the past five years (estimating conservatively) trying aggressively to get ahead and make all the right career moves, and now that I'm on the cusp of that big move, I realize I may be happier with a less high powered job. But I have to sort that out.
So it'll just be scamming the grant committees and the parents, at least for another couple of months.
