I’m beginning my job search, and it’s a doozie. We’re in some uncertain economic times… is it a weak job market for those of us who are about to graduate from college?  Or do we have a leg up because more of us can be hired for the same amount of money as more experienced employees?

Who knows?  I know I don’t.

I just know that there’s one thing I’m trying to use to guide my job search: Will I enjoy the job? Will I want to go to work? Am I going to love it?

I’m not sure what that looks like – I don’t even know where I want to work, or what I want to do. But I want to understand and love the big picture associated with the company and the job.  I would love to work in the private space industry, but I’m not sure where to start, especially if I want to stay in Atlanta for a little while.  We’ll see where that goes, if it goes anywhere.

I’ve also thought about starting something, but I’m not sure there’s any early stage capital available anywhere at this point.  So do I just camp out at my current job and weather the economic storm?  Try and find a job I love?  Throw all my effort behind my idea and work until I can’t go anymore?  What’s the best thing to do?
