but i have (a few) good reasons why.
i'm a ramblin' wreck from georgia tech! well, not in the student sense. i'm just a communications intern, but i have an office (eek!) and i get to FLY to the atlanta campus every other week with my boss, so that's kind of awesome.
my department has shifted a bit and now i find myself doing more work for the CEISMC department (center for educating, integrating, science mathematics and computing) which means i go to local elementary schools and girl scout troops to teach them that science is cool and make edible rocks.
i'm also working on the grants that the professional education department is writing for the new MOOC programs. did you know that the average pay for a grant writer is salary + ten percent of the grant that is accepted? the last grant gtpe landed was worth 1.8 million. damn.
so there's that. i've also been brooding a bit this week because the office ended :( and i had to turn down my dream job.
ever since i've moved to savannah i've been dying to work at gulfstream.
no, it's not the glamorous magazine editor position i wanted when i started college, but it's everything the more grown up version of me could ever hope for. i've been on 4 different interviews for internship positions but never successfully landed one.
as it turns out gulfstream is like an ex boyfriend. once they hear you are happy with someone else (in this case, ga tech) they call again. and this time i got the internship.
but i turned it down.
the position was only offered for the summer, which meant come august i would be unemployed. so i had to make the big girl decision of declining my dream job so i could be better off in the long run. (until graduation anyway).
welp.
it's been a bummer.
but i have to remind myself that i'm only 21 and a senior in college. i got this.
