Walk like Molasses

I am currently accepting donations for my moving fund. I plan to move into my own place i.e. not with my parents, by this summer but if I could expedite that expedition it would be greatly appreciated. This August I will be approaching a year before a quarter of a century and I think it's about time I wake up and smell my own coffee brewing. Let's not get into details about whether or not I even drink coffee, it's the prinicipal of the matter. If I want to drink coffee at 2am I want to be able to in my underwear.
This leads me to contemplate this recession-generation. FOC's not finding work (Fresh of the Campus). How to properly swallow the feeling of just accomplishing a life changing goal and getting recognized by your peers and loved ones that yes, you are a hard-working intelligent human being!- then working at a menial customer service job? We must throw pride into the wind and realize that some things are not our fault. Yes you could have studied that much harder instead of having a social life in college, but I know plenty of Summa and Magna Cum Laude graduates that are working right next to high school drop-outs. There are also many people out there with Masters and PhDs taking entry level position or at least entry level pay. Everyone is  being shortchanged in this market.
I learned that the hard way. Upon graduation I felt some sort of privilege, I believed that upon graduation give or take six months I will have a job and move out and start my life...Those six months ended almost two years ago- geez! But yet again there is nothing to be ashamed of. In fact I am the only one of my friends that hasn't been on unemployment yet. Sadly that's not because I've never been laid off, I haven't worked anywhere long enough to qualify for that magical money vacation.
A great professor once told me that the more odd jobs you have only gives you more material for your writing. At this rate I will have a Factotum-like resume in no time. Thanks T. In other words, look at the bright side, at least you don't live in a swamp.
