First Original Blog

This is my first original blog. Before you click away as I probably would if I were you, hear me out. Please.
I'm Starting a blog because like many millennials I am overly educated and under employed therefore I have a lot of time on my hands when I'm not being hired for a job or searching in vain for a job that fits my skill set. I'm sure many, too many, can relate. Kinda sucks being 'the first generation that will not be more successful than our parents'. Or, whatever. We are in debt from student loans and although we are more educated than previous generations, we can't really move further because our parents and their friends are working until they are 100!
As millennials, we have literally lived at the crossroads of life, and it's NOT going to make us complacent, because we are smart, creative and determined to make it work. We are the "Me Me Me generation" no?

Don't y'all just love how everyone has an opinion about what you are doing with your life? The people that think jobs fall out trees. The people that think that people want hand delivered resumes despite the job description explicitly stating 'please apply online only'. The people who say "Well, you have two degrees.... Anyone would want to hire you!"  I could go on and on about the ridiculous and slightly demeaning things said to me about my lack of a job. Believe me, I want one. A career. I've worked for it and it's not going to be handed to me but jobs that I am educated, trained and experienced to do are just not readily available. I know I'm not the only one.
As millenials we have the education and the creativity to essentially do what we want since the economy is not in our favor.
So, here is my attempt to pass the time until I land that dream career. Join the blogging world. Over saturated, sure, but hey, what do I have to lose.

My blog will be a random mix of traveling, adventures, animals, basically anything I feel like writing about. Everyone has a story. This will be mine.

Always,
Nat
