General useless angst
Nov. 13th, 2007 11:06 pmOne of my most persistent sources of angst is general anxiety about my employment future. I feel like venting a little tonight. LJ is a bit like therapy - I have a hard time talking about negative stuff to my family and real life friends, but here I feel more secure.
Now, I'm the (German equivalent of) a English Lit major. English/German to be precise. I'm aiming towards a PhD in E Lit. I'm also doing a Master of Education equivalent, which will enable me to teach English and German at highschool level.
But I'm pretty certain that I don't want to teach at highschool level, and besides, thanks to population developments, my chances of getting a job with the English/German combination are shrinking rapidly. Germany isn't exactly investing a lot of money into education. *bitter*
( things that keep me up at night, instead of real problems )
Well. This is my dose of useless angst for today.
On a lighter note, I'm now a certified Star Trek watcher! I got an A in my Cultural Studies essays :D
