Mighty To Save: WOAH THIS IS SOO COOL! →
I am part of a lost generation and I refuse to believe that I can change the world I realize this may be a shock but “Happiness comes from within.” is a lie, and “Money will make me happy.” So in 30 years I will tell my children they are not the most important thing in my life My…

Avoiding Stagnation
I’ve been feeling like I’ve hit a barrier in my job search so far. I’ve got resume that has been retooled and redesigned by a friend who is HR for a small consulting firm, I’ve expanded and been in touch with my networks, and I’ve now put out 21 applications..and I feel like a bloody failure. I know it’s a tough economy, and unemployment is high, and if you...

Booze
I’ve started to notice that a few of my followers on Tumblr post about drinking, or not drinking. Some seem to have a drinking problem, others teetotal, some are in between. I wonder sometimes whether to talk to any of them about drinking. I am one of the in the middle people. I’ve been drunk.. it wasn’t pleasant. I find drunk people extremely annoying and don’t like going...

What's the best news you could recieve right now?
Right now, I’d love a job offer. I’ve come back from Africa and put in at least 19 applications and so far all is quiet, though some still have time to get back to me. It’s a rough economy out there and Stability is really what I want. When you are unemployed, it’s damn hard to feel stable. If I’m not doing something productive, I stagnate, and it’s not a...

craigin asked: I also had my picture taken before I came and trainees that didn't had theirs taken by PC in Moldova. My legitimatie is only valid for two years though and I have to apply for a new one before mine expires in August. I find myself redoing a lot of things in order to stay a third year.

Movement
It’s amazing all these random possibilities that may take my career in interesting directions. One person may get me meetings with Save The Children and ActionAid. Another apparently knows of possible work in Rwanda. I also have apps out for DC, NYC, Atlanta, and Raleigh. I’ve put out 20 resumes since being back only THREE WEEKS. I know I want to do development work in some capacity....

"How Do I Ask You A Question?"
So, I’d love to answer whatever questions you guys have for me, but many of you seem to think I don’t have a Ask Me Anything button. I DO-It’s under the description, on the right hand side of my Tumblr. Scroll down and you’ll find it.. though I admit it’s a bit small text-wise.

Since Livejournal is absolutely useless today..
A friend of the family who is a Yale prof and well connected is going to help me make a connection with ActionAid and Save the Children as well as Global Integrity(South Africa). It may not lead to anywhere, but it’s a chance I’m willing to take. I’d LOVE to work for ActionAid, as they are working in Ethiopia and it would be incredibly rewarding to work there. My brother thinks...
