Since my last post, I became the Manager of a Credit Union in my area. On the surface, that's awesome. I'm 23 years old and already a manager (which is what I wanted, obviously).
What they don't tell you about being a Credit Union manager is that you are the President and CEO of the company. Manager is a very, VERY misleading title. I was assuming I'd be like...middle management, working with people, occasionally doing some financial reports or something. WRONG. I do EVERYTHING. I am effectively HR, Accountant, and everything else all rolled into one person. Also, I wasn't told about the state of the credit union I'm at. They're losing money at quite a rapid pace. Basically, I'm on the Titanic with a thimble to bail myself out. I'm so stressed out sometimes that I can hardly breathe.
Basically, lesson learned. Grass isn't greener on the other side. Life will improve - I am the luckiest person in the world like that. I'm sure I'll end up on my feet sooner rather than later. :)
