I do miss being a kid. No responsibilities, no bills, no job - but I really do enjoy being an adult. You can hop on a plane at any time and go almost anywhere (if you've got the cash), you can live not at your parents house, you usually have your own money that you can spend on either frozen pizza and beer or a nice night out with friends.
I personally enjoy the hopping on a plane and going anywhere concept. Like tomorrow morning, I'm hopping on a plane (with a few layovers) but landing in Boise, Idaho by mid-afternoon. My original goal was to spend a day or two there and drive over to Oregon to see some family and drive back for a few more days in Boise. And included in those "few more days" would be an interview for a summer job. If you asked me two weeks ago when I got the interview I was overjoyed. I love Idaho. It's beautiful, the downtown area is awesome, and the people are wonderful. I booked a one-way flight, rented a car, and booked a car. Flash forward and my practicality has kicked in. The job is 4 days a week for about 5.5 hours a day. I could probably work out another part-time job either at the location I'm interviewing at or at a restaurant. But who would really rent to me? I'd make ~$1,000 (before taxes) in the entire 6 weeks I would be there. Now, I've got enough cashed saved that I could probably just get a co-signer on an apartment and pay for it out of pocket - but that's a lot of dough for a short-term lease of 3 months. It would cost me almost double that in rent! Not including food, utilities, activities, my home and bills here, etc. Boom, in comes the summer camp job here. It's a completely different job, more administrative, but it's at the old summer camp I used to work at. I'm thinking the hours would be 30-40 per week and I'm guessing the pay would be minimum wage. That'd put me between $1700-2300 (before taxes) for the 8 weeks I'd work there. I already pay to live in this house so I wouldn't be spending anything more than I would be in Idaho. I'd actually be able to pocket some of that cash! What a concept! Have you ever felt stuck somewhere? Ever felt like your purpose belongs somewhere else? Yeah, same here pal. Comment below so we can be friends. Here's the dilemma. I want Idaho. I want to see those beautiful mountains. I want to eat the food and I want more than anything to get to know the culture, the people. The whole point of this "FUNemployment" was to follow my heart (and yes, Dad, finish school - May 2018!) and stop being this practical person who hid in her room dreaming of the world outside. The dilemma has already been answered, and I'm sure you can figure out what I'm leaning towards. I interview today for the job here, and on May 19th for the job there. Stay tuned because I'm sure it'll be a bumpy ride.
