It's the season to be looking for jobs!!! Yes. Time to start planning for the future. But what on earth can I do with an economic degree??!! I don't want to do banking, not after that finances evening. I want to do pure economic related jobs. Central banking is the straightforward answer, but thats like highly highly qualified people, and I don't think I'm there yet.
I was in tutorial today, and I felt like I was surrounded by people who have never done economics before!! I hate that. Trying to lull me into a false sense of security. I've not yet met anyone in economics who has had to explain a theory to me, to make me feel like there is some competition. Yet I know that when the exams come, I won't be on top because some freak will be hiding in the corner and come bursting forth in H1 glory ahead of me.
I've not been to the library much this semester. Been studying at home. Not as unproductive as before I must say. And definitely more comfortable, not having to be annoyed at people who have no idea what "Quiet Study" means.
I completed my final assignment for the semester today!! Felt so liberating, knowing that it is all over and I can finally get down to preparing for the exams.
I need an internship! But where can I find economic internships?!?! It's like they do not exist.
I know. It's a very random post, but that's what exam prep does to you I think. Makes your mind jump all over connecting dots all over the place.
