Daily Dialogues

Over the course of one’s life, there are some things that are certain. Job hunts are not one of them, but I wish they were because then everybody would understand how frustrating it is. It isn’t just about getting a job, although that’s already difficult.

When you get a job, you also have to think about transportation. The US has been dominated by cars for over a century and every other form of transportation has suffered. This is not a walkable or even a bussable country for the most part. One of the few jobs I could find was a thirty minute drive away. That sounds fine, but a thirty minute drive translate to over two hours on the bus.

You could move closer, but that brings house hunting into the equation which makes things even more complicated. You’re looking for a job so you can’t get a apartment close to the job unless you’re sure that the job will give you enough money to keep the apartment. Even one person studios are over a thousand dollars a month.

I’m sure I’ll get something eventually, but god damn is this annoying.
