Tryin' to make a few bucks or trying something worthwhile

I've been out of work for a while. I've tried different works. But one thing I can say, i didn't like accounting that much. I said to myself I would be serious in work or in business, in having a career when I'm already matured. But that hasn't come yet. I've wanted to work for a long time but just hasn't found the right work yet for me. I think I've applied with a thousand companies but hasn't found work yet or at least something that I love. I'm beginning to think that dreams are just dreams and it means something else to be practical. But I don't want to give up yet my idealism. Not just yet. Not until I can prove that dreams do come true. I've been accepted to two accounting jobs but declined them just the same because I didn't like to work accounting jobs when I was younger. For me having to accept an accounting job means saying goodbye to my pursuit of my passions such as being a writer or reporter, a masscom career, being an actress or an athlete. I had too much high hopes before. Eventhough I wanted to become a writer nobody would take notice of me or my resume just because I didn't have a MassCom degree. It was very frustrating. If you could write, why would you need a MassCom degree just to become a writer or a reporter. I even tried to apply as a production assistant to some of the networks in our country. But of course, there are also hundreds who did the same. How could you get noticed? I passed time without work just because it was hard to find a job that I really liked and sometimes it is also hard to apply for jobs that you don't really like. The job application process was just too frustrating and repetitive. I'm beginning to believe that you have to know somebody to get in in a company. And not be taken for what you're truly worth. Sometimes I feel that my talents are wasted by not having work. Just too few opportunities in our country, very competitive job market, or maybe there is too much trust in branding and strict requirements in a position. Sometimes, you can do the job eventhough you don't have 3 years experience in something but they follow the requirements as it is written. I was wondering when I could really be accepted in a job. It's hard not to have a job these days especially if you don't have money just to keep up. I hope they don't have to see your resume to the letter. I hope what they find is what you are able to do even if you don't have an MBA.
