Pain, that feeling of failure, the realization that all you've worked for has been roadblocked indefinitely. These emotions are something I feel like I should talk about. For a while, I've been unlucky in the job market in the field I've worked so hard to be my best in. So bad that I currently work as a seasonal cashier assistant for a local grocery store. The job is as the title suggests. I work along side a cashier by simply moving scanned groceries to the customers cart. I had one trainer tell me that I have a wonderful radio style voice. I told him, "Oh yeah I use to be on TV and host/produce segments." After I explained, he laughed at me and thought everything I said was a joke. He gave me another look and realized that I was being serious based off of my facial expression. That hit me harder than I thought it would. For the past few days I've felt like a failure in my field. I worked so hard to be more than this and while I grew up appreciating having a job at all. I feel like I'm back in my college era working something dead end and not meaningful. Is that bad? Should I be more appreciative of having a job at all? Regardless, I am still trying to put my best foot forward in hopes for better employment. I don't want what talents I have to go to waste or worse, die off with time.
