In a way, the answer is - yes.
Settling down in one place, finding a proper career type job seems so final. Somehow it got stuck in my head that once this happens, it is the end of life as I know it. Welcome to the suburban middle class, here's your lifetime membership. We're expecting you at the barbecue this weekend, please bring a dish. And no, you may not take a month off to go traveling.
Besides, putting yourself out in the market is risky business. What if nobody wants to hire you? In an interview, you're basically setting yourself up for slaughter. These people have veto over your future! So now can you understand why I am running as fast as I can? Why stay and put up with possible rejection when you can leave?
Yes mother, one cannot run forever.
It is with this train of thought that I have decided to stay and rough it out. I will find a job...eventually! All this anxiety even before school is out, can't imagine what it would be like once the actual job-hunting begins.
I should own a button that says - Say no to panic attacks!
