Eeek, never thought I’d have to experience this again.
I’m into the third week of my Medical Assistant program at Capilano and I can already feel the squeeze on my savings. Because I’m still in the process of repaying my student loan, a sizable chunk of change is taken from me every month. In light of that, I sat down to crunch some numbers the other day and I came to this realization: I’ll be broke by the time I graduate from my program if I don’t find some source of income soon.
I’ve been trying to find an office job in a medical environment, but employers are being picky and have some pretty lofty requirements. With that industry out of the question, I have to look into something more accessible to myself. Now, I swore that I’d never go there again, but… I’m looking at delving back into the world of retail/customer service work. I just sent out my resume to Shaw, as well as to Apple. The ‘I-don’t-want-to-be-broke’ part of me is hoping something comes up, but my pride doesn’t want any part of it. Although, I guess it’s no time to be worried about pride if I don’t want to be in the red at the end of my program, eh?
If anyone out there knows of a part-time/student job, please, let me know.
