| | Last week mom emailed me a notice she got from careerbuilder.com, a new photography studio is looking for full-time photographers. It's one of those cookie cutter portrait studios- but it seems that they pay really well for something I can do very easily- so I emailed them my resume and portfolio.
A few days ago, they emailed me and asked to set up an interview. That interview is the day after tomorrow. And the weird thing is, they didn't need me in PA like the ad said-- they need me in Roanoke, Va. My entire family minus my mom and brother live there. And because it's pretty far away, I'm driving to my grandmother's house tomorrow and spending the night there, then driving to Roanoke the next day.
If I get the job, they're going to fly me immediately to Charlotte, NC for a two week paid training program. I don't know what they're planning to teach me though. I guess not all of the people working there have gone to photography school. I'm sure it'll be a two week paid cakewalk.
I won't get my hopes up. If it doesn't happen, whatever, I'll be fine. I'll just look somewhere else. BUT there are so many things that make this the perfect opportunity for me. For one, I'll be moving away from my momma. It will force me to be independent, and I need that. But, in case I get homesick (and I will), conveniently THE ENTIRE REST OF FAMILY lives there. So I will have help in deciding where to live, which parts of town are good/bad, where to have my oil changed, whatever. And it pays so well, more than I ever expected to make, so I can afford a nice place and plane tickets, and I won't have to be a poor college kid anymore.
I'm afraid that if I get the job, I will hate it and I'll be stuck. Or what if they fire me? And will I be really lonely without all my friends? (Yes.) And what if mom gets sick and I can't be there? I'll be so worried about her if I'm in another state.
So many good things, a few bad things, kind of exciting, kinda scary. No reason to think about it yet; I haven't even interviewed and the economy is crap. But I've gotten every job I've interviewed for up until now, so I'll stay positive.
UPDATE:
I got the job, and I'm moving tomorrow.
