whubbla Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 So, I'll start. Hoping to find a job that makes some use of what I've done in my masters program while I deliberate whether to apply to Ph.D. programs again (granted, I did not cast a very wide net this time given personal-geographic constraints). What thoughts and plans do others have? Parents' couch? Investment banking? Clergy? Burger-flipping? House-spouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacklunch Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Depression, followed by no plan at all. Here's to hoping! TheHymenAnnihilator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
11Q13 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm applying to various fellowships for the summer regardless of admission. If I'm not admitted it will keep building up my CV at least. I would definitely attempt to adjunct at my undergrad... So far that's all I got. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeMan Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I will get a proper and honest job if I am rejected by all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emma Maroon Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 if i don't get funded anywhere, WWOOFing in Italy on a goat farm! Always wanted to learn how to make goat cheese! For reals, though. WWOOFing is a fabulous plan B. Super excited. But still hoping to get get funded. Emma Maroon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonkeyPants Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 i'm living my Plan B- running the research dept at a magazine. auditioning for a bluegrass band. drawing a comic book. freelance copyediting. constantly reading religious history. i feel very fortunate to have a full-time, salaried job with benefits, but it's not what i want to do with my life/career. Academia, if God wills it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sacklunch Posted February 4, 2012 Share Posted February 4, 2012 While we wait, Diablo 3 beta. Anyone else?! dubsarkim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whubbla Posted February 5, 2012 Author Share Posted February 5, 2012 Didn't know D3 beta was out yet. I'm in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudreyK Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 I'm living my plan B now... which IS good work (Community National Organizing) BUT have come to realize in the last 2-3 years that organizing without strong overall messaging is crippled. Important but crippled. However, Plan B is going to be finding another good job, or stretching mine into something which requires more writing and teaching, and less (way less) cat-herding.

AmoDman Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well, I currently am employed by a financial institution as, basically, a file clerk in lending... Yes, it's as depressingly horrible as it sounds (for me). Geh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
