Week Six

This week’s blog question challenges us to come up with three things that are “non negotiable” for our first job out of college. At this point in time I still really have no idea what I want to do out of college; so I guess this is about as good a way to narrow it down as any. Still though, since I don’t know what I want, I don’t really know how to narrow it down… Leaves me no choice but to leave these standards as broad as possible

1) I don’t want to live in the South, therefore I cannot take a job in the South. Not because I don’t like the people, the way of life or anything like that, I honestly hate hot weather. Heat is just not for me. I would say my ideal day is high 50’s and cloudy.
2) I think I would want to work in an environment where there are other fresh grads around. Especially if I move to a place I am unfamiliar with, I would like to be around and work with other people around my age.
3) I want to work in a friendly/fun/energetic work environment, I am still getting used to sitting at a desk for eight hours a day, and I don’t think I could do it if everyone around me was low energy and kept to themselves.

So that is what I have so far; I want a job that hires other recent college grads, who have energy, not in the South. Not that limiting really, but I guess I got to start somewhere. It appears I really need to sit down and do some thinking in the next couple months about all this.
