I'm having bad luck trying to get a career started- I've had an associate's degree in computer programming for about a year and a half now, but nothing professional to show from it. No internships, no work experience. Nada so far. I was on the fence with an internship that was offered to me back around May, and in the end I caught the flu on my starting days, and that wrecked my chances with that opportunity. Ideally I'd like to get some form of an internship started before 2016 is done and over with, and my focus is totally on that, but I guess I'll have to wait and see what's really going to go down.

My only real backup plan if I can't find anything is to go up to Schoolcraft and let them know I've been completely unsuccessful in finding work after graduating from them, and see if they can at least offer some advice or something. I know that most folks transfer their credits to a University rather than get an Associate's, and in a perfect world I would have, but I couldn't afford that, and I still can't. I knew that going in, and I really wasn't in the best situation to really even -go- to school for that Associate's, but at least I managed to do it. I think I've used up all my aid just trying to get the Associate's, so going back for that isn't currently an option. I'd need a higher paying job that I can save some money at before thinking about it.

I just feel like I'm really crappy at being an adult. Like, the things I read up on that I'm recommended to do, I either can't do them because I'm missing something I need in order to do it, or when I do try to do something that I have access to doing, I get no benefit from it. It's got me kind of confused some days, and bleh, right now I'm feeling mopey enough to write out this whiney journal about it. At any rate, 2016 is around the corner, so I'll just have to give it another shot for that year and hope for the best, but right now it's hard to find that motivation.
