Freedom?

I thought to go the academic route as an alternative to the world of work. I would go for a doctorate if I would get paid for doing it like I did my master’s. I got accepted into a program but it doesn’t look like there’ll be any available funded positions by the time the program starts. Paying out of pocket would completely defeat the purpose.

I had no plan B in line, so I guess for now I’ll continue to live off my savings. It’s not like a Ph.D. was really something I wanted to do. My inner rebel stirs when thinking about a job too. For one thing, the application and interviewing process was exasperating. I remember being in therapy and the conversation turned to interviews. My therapist at the time tried to give me interview tips, but I just felt angry and ready to change the topic because I didn’t want to talk about fucking interviews. (I said something along those lines under my breath.)

I can appreciate my time affluence and minimal obligation. I want to enjoy it while I can.

Meanwhile, I can try to figure out some other form of income.
