Drug treatment
Today I have found a simple error in my thought process. I typically view all things in life such as classes here at school, jobs in the world, and relationships, as things which are in abundance and we just need to pluck one out of the stream and everything will work out fine. I have been shown this before in terms of relationships, but today my view of the workforce has changed as well. I have been looking this week for jobs over the summer to supplement my education and give some extra money before the fall semester. I have scoured every single listing of treatment centers and specifically drug treatment centers in this area. I have put in about thirty calls to various places and no one has anything available right now. This has from the beginning of my search turned my view of how getting out of college should not be. Well ok I am not out of college yet and won't have a degree until next year, but I think that three years of current counseling education is worth something right? At least a job as a paper pusher or something. I mean I could easily just settle down and take one of the many jobs offered in food service once all of their workforce moves to the beach for the summer, but that's not the kind of use of my time that I feel is valid. I don;t want to get a job that I know will be a waste of my mind and my time. I really want to work at a substance abuse center of some kind the most because that is presumably what I will be doing after college, if I can find a job then. I know that this feeling would just be too much for me from experience of the last two summers where I did have to settle for jobs that were uninteresting and totally unchallenging. Those are tow words that certainly turn me off when it comes to something that I will want to take seriously. Some people have that ability to fake enthusiasm for a topic they feel nothing for, but I certainly was not born with anything like that.
