In a not-so-shocking turn of events, I have even proven inept at acquiring an unpaid internship. Yes, I and my genius have once again failed at obtaining an unpaid internship. Unpaid. Internship.
Here I am, fully willing to forgo the security of income for a job opportunity. I was willing to do grunt work, fully knowing that what I would be doing would not be beneficial to me when I could be freelancing some articles all day, or reading, or blogging, or working on my novel.
Well, I tried. I guess in the grand scheme of things, it's nice that they actually informed me that they weren't "moving forward with my candidacy." Right, like there was anything to garner from that kind of job experience. I'm sorry the plight of individuals around the rest of the world doesn't move me as much as my personal needs do.
So maybe I should just quit the unpaid internship route. It seems that there have been a bunch of scandals involving unpaid interns lately anyway. So thanks a lot for wasting a few weeks, a day in the city, and a bunch of my hope.
You know what I'm tired of? People who have no integrity. It's like they will skirt around the issue, make up lies, and recite meaningless words all in an attempt to fool. If everyone would just stop lying, we'd be in a much better place, and I say this from an economic standpoint. There would be less deadweight loss to society because information would be more perfect and less asymmetric. That's the kind of business I want to do -- so I don't have to deal with smooth-talking, conniving and greedy people.
For now, I'm going to channel my frustration into creativity -- into baking delicious desserts, into writing, into launching a startup.
