After suffering the classic summer job of working at a grocery store, i was quite glad to go back to school and get out of that bad routine. I wanted to work at a grocery store over the summer just to see what it's like working in a big company and honestly wondered what it would be like working at a cashier for 8 hours. This job made me realize where i would most likely go if i didn't further my education and it was quite an interesting experience. Id recommend this job to anyone young because it's a great eye opener of where you don't want to go. Know before i go any further i just want to say if your happy working at a grocery store or a retail giant good on you you found a job you like and are probably enjoying it so please don't take this personally. Working in this sector is just not something i want to do for the rest of my life BUT after going through first semester of university that jobs not looking to bad. I much rather be working 8 hour shifts at a grocery store then learning calculus. That sh*t is hard and time consuming. I find it quite funny because throughout my summer i kept thinking “I can't wait to go to school, meet new people and get out of this boring repetitive summer job” and now that i'm here i kinda want to go back. Of course i'm not gonna go back, i never will but it's interesting to see how my mind can convince me to think that it's not that bad. I think the saying “ you gotta go through a little hell to get to heaven” was made by a university student because that's what I'm experiencing now, a whole lot of hell. But when entering university i get the promise that after I'm going to have a great 6 figure job at a big company and to that i just have to say i'll see it when i believe it. To end this rant off i'll say this, I’m not really sure what's in store for me after university, all i know is that it's a long way to go and is going to be a lot of hard work and money to get me their. Think about where you are now and think about if it's worth it all because we only have one life and that clock just keeps on ticking no matter what you do.
