Keep on Keepin' On

When I got up the nerve to tell my Aunt (my family's number one...uh..."Motivator") that I was going to settle for temporary positions, she was more than disappointed and told my mom she thought I was giving up on my dream.

But I'm not. I still come home every evening and check craigslist, careerbuilder and monster for anything that might fit me. Tonight I started searching in Miami with the thought process that if I'm temping in Boca and don't mind the drive on 95, what's to stop me from going further south, especially when I know the doors that could open for me in Miami? Well... I found an internship that seems fairly perfect. A boutique custom publishing/marketing agency with a tag line of "Be Unique." 12-15 hours a week (I could still hold paying temp jobs... because this is unpaid.) BUT, without traffic, it's almost an hour and a half south of here. With traffic, and trust me, at 8 a.m., there is an exorbitant amount of traffic, I'm looking at over three hours of driving for a three hour day? I guess I should wait and see if they respond to my email first, huh.

How far are you willing to travel, heavy traffic included, if your dream job is on the other side of the terrible commute...(Shave while driving? Really Miami?)
