I haven’t been actively looking for a job for a while now. I been focusing on the last weeks of summer with my oldest. Now, she’s back in school, and I been home trying to keep the house afloat while entertaining my 3 year old.
Someone recently told me to just wait until my youngest is in school to find a job. My thoughts have been going back and forth. There’s a job fair at the end of next month at the base community center. I’m going to go and just see what happens.
Next week, I start teaching Tahitian dance at the base community center. I’m only a contracted instructor and get paid 75% of the class fees. Which means it all depends on how much people sign up. It’s not even definite if I’ll be able to teach after this month so I’m not relying on this for income.
My classes start in 2 weeks. I keep replying in my mind something a stranger told me, “bachelors degree is the new associates, and a masters degree is the new bachelors.” I feel like I’m going to school for nothing. I have a bachelors degree, but because I have no work experience, it means nothing.
Will I ever find myself? Will I ever identify myself more than just a wife and mother?
