Marketing Me

If you ever want to feel useless with a marketing degree, then just go to a career fair:

"Sorry, we're not hiring marketing people right now."
"We're looking for engineering and IT people."

Dammit. It's like 2003 all over again (the year when I graduated) and finding a marketing position was next to impossible. This career fair is actually at my alma mater; I decided to go because I had to try everything and exhaust all opportunities to find a new job. But really, my going tonight was just a simple revelation of what I already knew: the bad economy isn't kind to marketing folks...even pretty ones like me.
