Compile a list of jobs I might like to have/jobs that use my English/International Studies

I am doing some quizzes and the like on CareerBuilder/CareerPath; I am also reading articles about resumes and jobs that I'm finding in the career section on MSN.com.  Dad suggested I look at the section; I can tell him that I have done so, and this is what I am doing.  After taking a quiz and marking the skills I feel I possess, I can see that an editing position would in fact be a good job for me.  I've wondered about doing such in the past, but is it really something feasible for me to do without a Journalism degree?  Editing is certainly something I am interested in and something I have done for much of my life (I was often helpful in that respect, in high school).  Can I really do it?  I suppose I'll try and look into it.  I should try to find some other things that might be a fit though, too, if only to be able to show my parents.

Hrm.  Here's some of the other stuff it says:
Editor-- My skills fit, I could perform the tasks, and my training fits.
Broadcast News Analyst-- My skills fit, I could possibly perform the tasks, and my training fits (though I lack the experience)
Various Teaching Positions-- These come up as interests, but I think I would need an education degree.  I wonder if I should look into this.  It would be more money and more school...but I would quite like to be a teacher.  I don't know.  Does Adam have an Education degree?  I suppose not, but he has a Master's, hasn't he?  I don't have the experience...
Computer Management/Operating-- These also come up with my marked skills and interests, but I think I might need some kind of technical degree here.  An English degree certainly wouldn't cut it.  Aren't there two-year degrees or similar for starting computer/technical work?  I'm not certain.

It seems that I would be best suited for a career in the media (newspaper/reporting/editing).  I might also consider teaching with more training or computer/technical work with more training.

So let me look for a job in Omaha, NE in the Media - Journalism - Newspaper category...13 results.

1. Photographer.  No.
2. Job in Missouri that requires relocation.  No.
3. Newspaper industry management position.  Requires 5+ years experience, not to mention is in Ohio (why do these non-NE jobs even show up?).  No.
4. Photographer.  No.
5. Examiner.com/Omaha.  Write about a particular subject-matter and have access to information.  I...suppose this is mildly possible, but a) it doesn't particularly appeal to me and b)I am not really an expert on anything.  I need something with solid compensation.
6. Commodity Analyst/News Writer.  Elkhorn.  Too far for taxi.  Requires a license of some kind.  Requires 2 years experience.  Prefers agriculture experience.  I cannot see this happening.
7. Editor job in Louisiana that requires relocation.  No.
8. What at first seemed a promising magazine job in Omaha is actually telemarketing--selling advertising space via phone.  Job is also based on commission.  No.  This does not utilize my English degree.
9. Advertising.  Management.  Requires experience I don't have.  I am getting tired.  Omaha.  But no.
10. Examiner position relisted.  See above, 5.
11. Editor in computer software industry.  Requires experience I do not have (5+).  No.
12. Examiner position relisted.  See 5.
13. Mississippi job.  No.

I can only hope continued job searches, for jobs in Omaha, Nebraska (not random states!) no less, will go more successfully.  I've conducted searches that proved this unsuccessful before.  I guess, however, I have to keep going.  I'm not sure what to do.

I suppose it would be best to a) try to refine my resume and make it focus more on jobs I may want and b) put said resume out there on career sites.  I may also look into the career counseling my parents (or my father) so seem to want.  Darn it all.  I really think I could find some entry-level job (fast-food or otherwise), but that it wouldn't necessarily utilize my degree.  What am I to do if such a job would be deemed unacceptable?  Is an internship the answer?  What can I do?

To-do Lists

Job Search

• Create a resume
• Post resume to career-finding sites (like Monster and the like)
• Compile a list of jobs I might like to have/jobs that use my English/International Studies
• Compile a list of jobs that are available and possible
• Look into career counseling sessions
• Apply to entry-level positions/internships?

Health

• Reset Wii Fit file and create new goal
• Exercise some and try to do so at least every other day
• Start taking vitamins
• Drink less soda?
• Call doctor and get new prescription

Organization

• Pick up trash/gather/move to garage

• Unpack boxes?
• Tidy up generally (and hopefully transition house to a state of general upkeep)
• Continue blogging (daily, with progress)

Family

What's most important?  I think first I should try to throw away some trash and tidy up generally.  I think a more organized home would help me feel more organized and happy.  If I feel more organized and happy, I should relax a bit more.  Feeling relaxed,  I should feel more willing to job hunt and accomplish other things.  I can't let myself become unmotivated or too lazy.  Video games are okay, but they shouldn't be my main focus until I've gotten some other things out of the way.  I feel depressed and somewhat like a failure-- if I can do some of the things on this list and cross them off, I'll be able to see that I can and have made progress.  Baby steps, right?

Jenny Endeavors

I'm really going to try to "fix" the way things are going.  I am happy to be living with Jon.  Not being with him for weeks at a time was something really difficult.  Having a house with him is a greater thing than I ever could have imagined, and Jon and I interact well.  It is good to have the best of friends near.  However, living with Jon is one of the very few things in my life I am actually satisfied with; I need to clean our house and keep it tidy and organized, I need to eat more healthily, I need to exercise and feel better, I need to find a medication that works for me, I need to find a job... there are many things I would like to accomplish.

The purpose of this blog-- Jenny Endeavors is a suitable title for now-- is to provide for me a place to post to-do lists and thoughts and ideas.  I am a writer at heart, and so it is my hope that my heart can help make everything else right (or is it write?).  I'm going to try to sort myself out through word and then action.  I hope this blog will prove a good record of a girl-in-progress.
