I already discussed this with a friend,
but I feel like there's some secret to success that the whole world is in on and no one is willing to tell me. Eight interviews - no offers? This sends one hell of a message. What am I doing wrong? Is God trying to tell me something? Am I just not ready for an internship? Am I even suitable for public accounting? I'm a lot better today, but this whole day I've still been moping around over the fact that I went through so many interviews and that I have no offers, while I have friends who have multiple second interview requests and offers already. I don't understand. I feel like a put a lot of effort into these eight interviews, yet in the end, after trying my best, I still fail. It's quite a discouragement. I can't concentrate on anything else other than the fact that throughout this month, I've been a huge failure.
The people I'm around the most say that they can't see me doing accounting anyways, that for my career I should be constantly interacting with people (which is what public accounting does, but so far no one wants me...).
My goal is to be financially secure.... but I'm not necessarily considering happiness or contentment or possibly not even God's will. I'm not happy with what I'm studying with - if I could be honest, I really wish I could be at Berkeley studying Linguistics. I'd be enjoying school so much more, meeting more like-minded people. Yet here I am, knowing that in terms of job prospects, accounting would be a much better route to take.
Here I am still, foolishly applying for internship after internship, praying that someone would take me and recognize my potential.
