I thought I had reached the point that you're at, isla_es, but then these past couple of weeks happened. I'm on the verge of 6 straight months of co-operative employment, but don't even have a job lined up yet. As a Chemical Engineering student, in a field where jobs aren't supposed to be this hard to find, it makes me question if this is really the right field. I might end up using my degree and experience to try to get into Science & Technology policy, or to work for an agency such as the EPA, as opposed to your traditional Chemical Engineering jobs. At this point it's so up in the air. At the same time I've been having a lot of thoughts about institutions and bureaucracies as a whole, to discern if any of them really care about an individual person to the capacity of being able to help them. At the same time it's caused me to question who I am, and who I want to be. Though much of this is derived from reading Albert Camus' The Myth of Sisyphus. It's been a tumultuous past couple of weeks.
