WaMu lays off thousands of people today, including a few of my friends. To me, this impacts as a realization, an epiphany, an eye-opener. This is my first taste of reality toward the real situation our economy is in. Furthermore, I’m becoming more frightened with the fact, that in reality, I won’t be working after I graduate. There will have to be unpaid internships that I go through, but who’s to say that any of these that will lead me my ideal job.

Moreover, I question whether I’m ready to be living here in Seattle without a job, making all these expenses yet pulling in no salary. How long can I be supported by my parents before they make me move back to Vegas? It’s an uncertain world out there, and this time in comparison with college searching is more frightening. Overall…I feel kind of screwed all around.
