Right now I work part time while I am looking for a new career. This is challenging in and of itself, being a part time worker allows you all the responsibility of a full time job, yet none of the benefits, especially in the compensation department. Being in college if not preparing you for work, at least prepares you for the inevitable poverty that will follow graduation. Yet, I was never prepared for this level of economic hardship. I take it in stride, but it makes it difficult to get to those far away job interviews that I am looking for. Thus I have to be creative in my endeavor to support my travel expenses. I had a yard sale this weekend, something I’ve done many times before when strapped for cash. It’s important to keep your eyes open for all life experiences, I learn more from a sale in my front yard than I do at my part time job, it’s also not a bad way to make some money and get that old dorm room junk out of your storage.

It wasn’t the most successful yard sale this time around, but it made me enough gas money to get to my next interview. And the sales and conversation wasn’t bad experience either.
