so...the job market sucks right now! surprise, surprise.

i went looking last week...of all the shops/businesses in downtown, only 1 said he was hiring (the owner's a guy), and he seemed like he might be interested in hiring me, but...if that doesn't work out? i'm totally screwed.

i've already gotten letters from 2 of the CDF stations i applied to...one of them was one of my top 5 picks. rejection letters. saying that since there's no MONEY (haha, that stuff is important, did ya know that?), they're only hiring a few people, and since i have NO experience, i don't make the cut.

i'm betting that that's going to be a lasting trend.

i'm applying to a company that runs hotels/stables and other stuff in Yosemite...hopefully...maybe, my experience with S will give me the leg up that i need to get hired there.

i should check with the national forest service, too...try to find out where i can go to get an app. lol

sigh...at least S is probably going to offer me a job for next summer. she's definitely going to hire me for her spring break class this spring (and i'll be 18 by then!!! woot!!! lol...just in time to pay taxes!). so if nothing else works, i'll have that. and she's gonna pay me pretty well, so if the summer job works out, i might even be able to move out...we'll see.
