Like any good Gen Yer, I went through a quarter-life crisis after my first year as a "young professional". I was an accountant at a Fortune 500 insurance company. When I introduced myself to people I actually made a point to say "But I promise I'm not boring!" So I desided to go back to school to put my supressed creativity to work. What started as a Masters in Writing, Rhetoric, and Discourse (high hopes of becoming a freelance writer for the Wall Street Journal) became a Masters in New Media Studies specializing in online content when I realized that the future is online. So I am in transition. Working full time as a accountant at a small company in Chicago, interning part time at a study abroad non-profit doing web marketing and website maintenance, and going to grad school full time to graduate in June 2010. Boring I shall never be again!
