Overqualified

– Name withheld, NY
I am a new MA recipient, trying desperately to do the work I love – working as a cultural advocate, teaching college courses in anthropology, working with college students, working with un- and under-represented cultural groups. So far I have worked at a number of lower paying and almost unrelated positions, taught some courses as am adjunct lecturer, but I am SO tired of hearing I am either over-qualified or qualified in areas that aren’t specific enough. Right now I work part-time as a library assistant, no health insurance, no year-round employment. It’s nice to know that there are others out there in my same situation.
