Its been crazy, the past couple of weeks actually. I've been looking for a job for a while, to no avail, getting calls back is very rare. I had one interview that was scheduled fall through and the other didn't pan out.
Ideally i would love to be a stay at home mum, but financially we just cannot afford it.I also think i just thrive from working. My background is in law, its not American law though. So one of the things i'm considering is re-training. I would have taken the bar, but with my husband's career and job taking all over the place, it just would not be ideal. So one of the other things i'm considering is doing paralegal studies, it can take me anywhere.
So i'm trying to look for any job at the moment and pay for paralegal studies, which i'll probably do in the evenings.
Coming to this realisation has been so hard on me, especially because i feel like i've studied for so many years, and to have to it again just kills me, but i have to do, what i have to do.
My passion is human rights and development. I guess it comes with my background, being from Africa and just seeing so much potential and work that can be done. But many of the jobs require years and years of experience, which i don't seem to have. But i do have the Masters for it and i would say 2-3 years experience.
Its been tough, lots to think through and i'm trying so hard to just not give up and keep going. Its so discouraging getting no call backs. But i have to keep at it, every no gets me closer to my yes, right?
I've wondered if its my foreign credentials that are not doing me justice?
Either way I chose to trust God to make a way out of no way. I cannot keep letting all these struggles weigh me down, finances, job, work, it all gets too much sometimes, so i give it over to you God. I'll do my part and leave the rest to you.
