I remember being in high school and looking at the absolutely awful state of the job market, and having absolutely no faith in my ability to successfully job hunt or network or anything of that sort. Meanwhile there were all of these stories about the massive shortage of nurses, and so, I decided to become a nurse. Sure enough, I've never had to job hunt. I've never even written a cover letter in my entire life.
Also, I'm back from vacation, so the pace is probably going to pick up a little bit.
