The 9 – 5

As you can tell from my two posts yesterday, I have had a lot of time on my hands while on the clock at work this week – I’ve been faux working since Monday afternoon, due to the only thing I’m waiting on, is being held by a mentally unstable coworker, who no manager would dare bring forward to HR due to fear of they themselves getting on the chopping block. 

So, I’m here, bored out of my mind.  I even had time to update my resume, which is a task that I’ve been avoiding for months, but yesterday I was so bored with having gone through every blog imaginable, that I couldn’t possibly do anything else at work to occupy my mind other than that resume.

While my resume mainly reads “fully licensed Investment Advisor”, who works in middle and back offices, it doesn’t officially state, “That doesn’t wish to be one.” 

I usually find that looking in the job market for new jobs that I actually might enjoy doing, to be one of the most futile experiences I can possibly go through in life. 

Jobs listed either pay well, because you need a dozen year awful work environment experience.  Or they don’t pay well, yet require an MBA, which in either case I would be miserable in doing both of these types of jobs – let alone the fact that I lack an MBA. 

Or, the job will sound great, but pays little to nothing when it comes to salary in the greater sense that this is NYC, and I’m not talking about the non-profits here.  Why would I want to work somewhere that would never allow me to be able to get ahead in life AND doesn’t really give a greater cause to society?

Or, the job will sound great, and promise all this money, but it is a con artist type of job, that runs through the loop holes of the legal world.  I’m not down for flat out ripping people off on things.

Or, the job will sound great, but it is in a field that I no experience in.  This type of job will usually so great that I would be a fool not to apply – and this is how I just applied to be a reporter for a cheesy local morning news show.
