in it to win it?

a little over a week ago, i quit my job. i have never felt so free.

i have sleepless nights. with the freedom, i am left with uncertainty. i know i had to quit. it wasnt healthy staying at a company and doing a job i hated. but now, all the feelings i had when i was graduating college are coming back, the fear of the unknown.

i have been applying to jobs like crazy and i feel so deflated. i had the interview from hell yesterday. i am trying to break into the healthcare field and what better way to do that than be front desk for a doctor's office? one problem, they want me to have healthcare experience.

this is where i get annoyed. how am i supposed to get experience if you wont hire me because i dont have any? when did a receptionist need healthcare experience to answer phones and book appointments? does my bachelor's degree not hold any rank? does that not show that i am competent and hold enough intellect to not only answer the phone but to use a computer? how am i not qualified?

i have 8 weeks to find another job. in 8 weeks i will have completed my two summer classes, taken the nursing entrance exam, gone to florida for the bridal/bachelorette weekend, and will be one week away from witnessing my sister get married.

8 weeks and my life will change.
