Com 435 May Help with Job Search

It wasn't untill I enrolled in our com 435 class that I began using blogs but it appears that it may become a potential source of income or at least an idirect link to other possible opportunities. Since the inception of our Eurotrip idea, a friend asked me what I would ideally like to do in life. I recalled a job that I recently applied for where I would be paid to visit different organizations and review them for producing travel books and their website. I realized then that I want to be Anthony Bourdain. For those of you who don't know who he is, you can find out more here. The thought of the opportunity to travel and live various wild, titillating and electrifying experiences and then getting paid to critique and voice my opinion of them is the archetypal job for a young adventurous unconventional recent graduate with a degree in liberal arts and communication. She pointed out to me that even if I don't get a job working for that particular travel reviwer, perhaps continueing to write about my experience will allow me to gain credit in the industry and push towards future openings. Even if things don't continue in the journalism route, that particular inclination will at least serve the function of a reminder of my exploits and undertakings.

Post Grad Plans!

After a little more research, I've decided to once again, break decorum. Since doors aren't exactly flying open with job opportunities, I've decided to try something a little different. I've decided that I'm going to drop off the grid for a while and try my hand in another country. Adventure is calling my name from my distant homeland, Germany. Plans are tentative but as of now, myself as well as a recent IU graduate friend of mine are going to fly directly into Berlin. We've got very little financial capital but a lot of excitement and adventurous spirit. Hopefully it will be enough to make it along untill we can secure a permanent source of income and find ourselves decent housing situation. We're still trying various resources and venues for suggestions. The latest was to sign up and post our resumes on a German job searching website.

Post grad plans?

I will be graduating here within the month and still have yet to line up a job for the real world. It seems that almost everyone is struggling to find something to do. However, there are still plenty of options for all of us without plans. Many options actually sound atrocious and would be miserable for me but they could be a possible career choice for others.
Right now many of my friend are putting off the real world in aim of attending graduate school or law school. Without the proper GPA however, that can be a difficult task.
Government jobs are said to be where to go during our current economic status. They're monotonous, typically fairly secure, have a steady paycheck, relatively good benefits, and utterly suck. Who really wants to be the one responsible for individually knawing away at a corner-wrapping que of pissed off and often under-educated people frustrated at having to fill out a file seemingly worthless, monotonous paperwork for governemtn files? No thank you!
The Peace Corps. is a government based alternative option for the more selfless person. I've had several friend take up positions in the Peace Corps, one currently teaching English in Namibia.
So for the lost and discouraged, fret not, there are other rather unusual options out there for you, if you're willing to step outside youre comfort zone.
