I am ecstatic to announce that upon finishing my master’s degree in journalism at Columbia University, I am still unemployed! After applying to more than forty jobs over the past few weeks and only receiving formulaic rejection emails kindly addressed, “Dear Applicant”, I know that this is the right move for me.

I am so excited to begin this journey of paying off my student loans, which experts project will be paid in full around the birth of my first grandchild.

I look forward to using my master’s degree to take jobs at Starbucks and as a weeknight babysitter in order to pay rent for my 15-square foot Manhattan apartment that does not include toilet access.
