Job Search #3 - Update

I figured I should probably update all of you on my job search. Well, to be honest, there isn't much to update you on. I'm having a hard time motivating myself to job search, to write those resumes and cover letters and send them, to look for jobs online. I'm not going through placement this time around - I just really didn't want to spend the money; and I'm searching pretty selectively, so placement just didn't seem like the best option.

I'm still waiting to hear from this one job opportunity that I'm really really interested in. I know that I can't count on that though and that I should be applying for other jobs but when I get home at night, I'm tired and lazy and I just don't want to deal with this. Some days I daydream about just taking a year off and traveling. Or maybe doing some service thing for a year - preferably abroad. I mean, I want to see the world - I want to make a difference. I'm antsy and restless.

But I need to be realistic. Yes, I have some money saved and could probably survive for a year without a job, but do I really want to use up all my savings. I'm a little young to that, aren't I? And how much harder will it be to get back into the job market if I've been gone for a year, especially considering my usual visa issues and that I'd probably have to do my next job search from outside the country.

No, it doesn't make sense - logically - to take a year off but that doesn't mean I can't dream...
