a zoo
retail
and currently a grocery store

I realized after three years at the grocery store that I am not cut out for retail and much prefer a more challenging career.

You can do eeeet!

Here's some advice you didn't ask for:

  • keep doing IT stuffs that are fun and interesting to you
  • If/When you try for jobs go full on, apply everywhere, work on your elevator pitch, DO realize that you have something to offer, work off your frustration with job pursuits constructively -don't get too down on yourself when you fail. Remember every failure gives you the advantage of knowledge. Keep at it -you'll get there.
