Last Week of School

Have started the last week of school, and then???? By Wednesday 20:00 I'll be a freshly minted MBA, looking to join the workforce.
I had an appointment with a career counselor at LUC, and I think I came across as unfocused. Not Lloyd Dobbler type of unfocused, but still. It's hard to find a job when you still don't have any idea of what you really want to do. As a child, it's easy to imagine that other then for some spectacular losers, adults have their act together. Obviously as one grows older, you realize that's not the case. It's still rather depressing though.

11 Days

Only 11 days left until I'm done with school! As the commenter below pointed out, I do have a lot of time on my hands...and I'm starting to go crazy. Without school to occupy at least some of my time, I'll probably just keel over and die from boredom
I think the plan will be to look for work a lot more intently. One of the many nice things about graduating is that I'll now be able to relocate to take a new job. However, I really enjoy living in Chicago, so I'll likely be very picky with regards to where I'll move. I've lived in central and southern IL and IN for work, and there is no way I want to move back there again. I'd rather live in my car, which would be impossible since I've sold the car, but you get what I mean.
I think I'm going to focus on either foreign companies with branches in the US, wholly or majority owned subsidiaries of foreign companies, or companies that have a large overseas presence. We shall see how that goes...
