WELL... my dream of moving to Rochester may have to wait a bit. Did I get my hopes up? Absolutely. My colleague was very insistent that they could likely find a place for me there despite my saying that they don't hire below a masters and I'm only currently in my masters.
SIGH.
It was very disheartening, but not completely unexpected either. So... dreams are on hold. As saddened as I was, I realized it makes sense though and I don't feel completely ready for doing legit therapy yet. Sometimes my own patients give me a run for my money and I'm left sitting there wondering what the hell to say, because they have real points and it's hard to help them turn it around when I totally see where they're coming from!
I'm still hopeful that someday I will work in that magical dream job. I will still continue to seek out and apply for jobs in Rochester in the meantime. I just wish it had worked through, because I picked out the most amazing apartment place ever. So for now, I thankfully still have a position where I'm at for the rest of the year. It'll be interesting to see if it continues past that.
There's also the issue of internship. Honestly, getting my masters has been challenging in ways I didn't expect. Mostly the internship. They are very clear that to get your MSW and licensure beyond, it is definitely a sacrifice.
So, life will be crazy for the next few years.
