#366 – Getting a Job?

Posted by Beardo on Jan 25, 2012 in Blog | 0 comments

I’ve talked to and met a variety of people in my life – starting from homeless people to big business owners.

But it never fails to get me when I hear a classmate say, “Man, this textbook was so expensive…I could barely afford this…had to sacrifice…”

I am utmost grateful to Allah, who out of His infinite mercy, had bestowed upon me awesome parents who have never failed to provide for me. Alhamdulillah. For however long I’ve been in college, or school in general, I never had to face that trial of not being able to NOT afford something – especially something as essential as textbooks.

It’s for that same reason that I’ve been actively looking for a job. I do earn here and there from JannahStudios, but that’s something I do as I sit on my comfortable office chair. I’ve applied to a couple places, and I’m just trying to actively acquire a job now. I want to experience those hours of tedious effort, that eventually don’t really pay too well. But it’s an experience. A life experience. And perhaps I can carry a small percent of my weight around as far as finances are concerned.

So, please make dua for me! I did apply to this tea shop (sells tea leaves, etc.) so I’m really hoping I can get this job, inshallah. DUAS, PLEASE!
