trying all trades and will hopefully become a master of one

Hi! I'm Julia. I'm unemployed, and I have no skills. I (almost) graduated college a year ago. I worked in debt collections for five months, after three years at a smoothie joint and now I am jobless with no experience at anything credible. Sure, the job market is tough, but I just don't have skills that will take me anywhere. I wasn't a great debt collector (actually the worst in the office, it said so on the daily flow charts), I could make a decent smoothie, but it would have been years before I could get promoted to assistant manager.

So here I am, back at home living with my parents, jobless. Not a desirable situation to say the least. I've applied for a few jobs. Many rejection letters later, my parents said I could help them out around the house. What a great opportunity to try a bunch of different things! This summer I'm going to pick up random jobs and learn how to do them.

The the first job I'm going to try out is painting. Years ago my sister and I wanted to paint our rooms. My parents, lets us do it on ourselves. Which is retrospect was probably one of their biggest parenting mistakes. The rooms are UGLY. So I will start tomorrow prepping, and you will soon be on a journey of random jobs with me.

I must go take my third nap for day. Peace.

Hulia.
