The Job I have V. The Job I wish I had

We were asked to write about a day in our lives in my Communications class. My life has two main pieces of excitement. Both of them are jobs. So I figured it would only be fitting to talk about these two areas of my life.

THE KAGE

On Monday and Tuesday nights, I have the opportunity to DJ for my school's radio station. This isn't a job I am paid to do. The only payment I receive for spending six hours a week behind a microphone is experience and three credit hours.

I know from that description it doesn't sound all that appealing, but I love being on the air. Radio is a dying art form, that's just the nature of the businesses. I think the fragility of radio is part of what makes it appealing to me. I love that I'm being forced out of my comfort zone, while ultimately not much is going to come back to me due to low viewership rates and just being a voice.

Target

Unfortunately, The job at the radio can't pay my tuition. Before moving to school, I had a good chunk of cash saved, I thought I'd be fine...

Turns out rent is more expensive than I planned. I tried getting a job in my small college town. It didn't work out, so now I need to make the two-hour commute about every other weekend to work.

My dad has worked at Target for the last 27 years. Due to that, when I asked his boss if I could have a job that would work with school, she happily agreed. She knows the kind of person I am, and the type of work ethic I have. So despite me not living in my hometown anymore (and frankly not having a great attitude about working with my dad...) I am working to help further my education.
