Sometimes things happen for a reason. Last year I decided my life needed a desparate change so I went job hunting and applied for a really crappy job that in truth I didn't really want but was REJECTED and was a bit pissed off that I didn't get. BUT AS LUCK WOULD have it, my sister in law's sister told me about an opening at her job...... this is a job I DID NOT WANT and did NOT care for........ But I actually got it ( got hired & was on the job within 3 hours ). Long story short I LOVE my new job, I make between DOUBLE and TRIPLE the amount of money as the job I lost ( I made $12,000 in November ) and my benefits plan is considered among the best benefit plans in the U.S. ( I am part of the Motion Picture health plan ) plus I see the newest movies free and well in advance of everyone. I am the one who posted topics about Lord of the Rings: Two Towers and X-Men 2 spoilers. Now IF I had taken the first job..... my life would really suck now BUT now I am making really good money, have a pretty decent amount in the bank, I am slowly but surely erasing a mountain of debt, and pretty happy.
So sometimes it is better that things don't work out. Although if that is the school you want to really go to... keep trying.
