I recieved an email from IU Kokomo wanting me to fill out a survey to inform them what I've been doing since graduation. Well, I've been working at Hobby Lobby, interning at the Kokomo Tribune, and reading a lot of manga while watching Roseanne. What I'd like to tell them is that I've got an awesome career doing what I love--and what I went to college to do.
If I wait a week or two to answer the survey, I may get a chance to say just that. That is, if I get hired. So, I'm going to wait it out. In the past, not many English majors reported having careers in their area of study--or any job for that matter. I'd like to help end that trend. Right now, answering that survey would be just as awkward and disheartening as talking to a classmate I haven't seen for awhile. The inevitable question always gets asked, "Where are you working?" Currently, I'm working retail. I don't want to put that on the survey any more than I like admitting it to others or myself. I want IU to read that Toni Betzner is a copy editor.
