Girlfriend! My pay is like 1 pound over minimum wage. By no means is it good pay. It pays my rent and expenses which is all I have for now, BUT I have my student loans starting in March. Booooo!
So. I may move back if there are no promising prospects by then. There is also the option of doing a funded PhD in San Francisco. While it would put off me paying my debt, it would allow me more job prospects in my field. I really want to work in the international health field, and doing admin for the tourist board isn't exactly doing that.
I applied for 2 more research assistant positions here in Edinburgh. Pray pray pray that I get some interviews. Dear Lord I'm getting tired of applying. It takes at least 30 minutes to an hour for each. :(
Why does the US education system do this to us? Scottish people go to university for free (or at an extreme discount). AND you don't have to pay back your loan until you are earning a certain amount of money which is good if you need to do an internship to get experience. Getting experience is a luxury for me haha. Unfortunately it's the reason most people won't hire me or my classmates who are still unemployed.
Sigh.
