What to do once you realize your new job sucks
www.fastcompany.com: You probably took your new job with high hopes, wanting it to be someplace where you’d learn, thrive, and make a contribution. But it hasn’t turned out that way.

This article represents a lot of the thought process I am experiencing in deciding about what to do about applying to colleges and determining what field I would like to go into. Since I arrived at this program I have been questioning what the pros and cons of a conservatory type tech theatre program and while sometimes cons outweigh the pros more often than not the pros outweigh the cons. But this article truly represented my mindset about life. I hope to never be in a situation where I hate what I am doing and have to find a cause for why I hate it or why I am doing what I am doing. I have always strived to find a career where I love what I'm doing every second of every day because life is too short to waste on doing something I hate. While it is important to try to succeed wherever you go and make it known that you won't give up depending on whether or not you like what you are doing, it is even more important to do something you are passionate about. Do something that you would happily do for free for the rest of your life rather than look for something where you will get paid to do something you hate.
Art Markman’s article on What To Do Once You Realize Your New Job Sucks, is the guide we’ve all been waiting for. I have always wondered when a decision of mine is too hasty or just the opposite. Not only does Markman discuss how it is normal to have doubts or feel out of place in a new job but that time and instincts are a factor as well. This article provides the reader with time guidelines and suggestions as to what to do within those times. It’s good to know when to get your boss involved in the matter and when not to. Markman’s article showed me a three-step process, think, adapt, discuss. Think about why your situations aren’t making you happy, adapt to a new businesses organization skills, colleagues, and work ethic, and last act, talk to your boss about what the next step for you. As a high schooler, this article will be helpful to me now and in my future for scouting out the jobs that will make me the happiest and benefit me the most.
This article is a great representation of how the internet and the teenagers which have it readily available are making huge impacts on our world (which in some cases are not positive but for this instance it is). Be More Chill is just one example of how anything can become an overnight sensation. From memes, music, and news, to Broadway shows the teens don’t stop. One more tweet or re-post can set a domino effect on anything. It is definitely overwhelming to live in a day and age where anything can spread globally overnight. There are ups and downs to these capabilities and in this case, the original cast of Be More Chill at the New Jersey Two River Theater was able to get the show on Broadway. I’m sure the cast was in shock after having been done with running the show for two years and all of a sudden wake up to being internationally known. The internet is crazy and expects no expectations, this article is a perfect example of that.
