Jobs..yeah i cant wait to leave kansas

I really hate being a grad student not quite sure why i decided to turn down a 56k per year starting job to come here. i could be driving a new car, looking at homes, have a boat or classic car lined up but no...stupid tom decided to go to stupid grad school. it is becoming harder and harder this semester to stay afloat. my boat is quickly sinking after my two midterm exams and how i performed on them-lets just say it was not Tom on his best day. This fall alone, i have applied for 26+ jobs around the country, I only started counting recently and didnt count the few that i was rejected for. they go from the east coast to the midwest. from betchel corp, to constellation, to tva, to txu, to entergy, to westinghouse, to entergy, finally to the nrc. the sad thing is that i probably wont here anything back and i pissed away my chances by turning down the job. i could be getting my vacation time in a month, i could be on my own with my own apartment with all my friends around Tech. I could be laughing my ass off at my ex who got pregnant after unsuccessfully attempting to get me to come back to her after all the shit she put me through. but no tom had to choose the fail situation. tom had to think he was smarter than he is and go to grad school. all i want is a job in the nuclear industry, some money in the bank, a nice warm home, a classic car and a boat to go to the lake with. is that too much to ask for? maybe so....maybe so. I have met a lot of cool people that i wouldnt have met if i had stayed at ANO, nor would i have gotten to build my first computer and had a fail motherboard issue (might have been done sooner or later but still) probably wouldnt have done a lot of things but such is life. there are a few things i fail at and apparently making good life decisions is one of them at the moment.
