future tense

Lately I have been in a planning frame of mind. We’ll be moving back near the middle of next year. As a result I was perusing journalism job sites in an effort to get a sense of what’s available stateside — possible points of re-entry. From the little I saw, the picture looked dismal to me. There isn’t a dearth of jobs, just a dearth of jobs I would want. People tell me to go back to school if after a few months nothing I like comes up, but I don’t understand randomly going back to school. Also in terms of the plans I have for further academic training I need a bit more experience first. Maybe it’s a little early to psych myself out. Hopefully over the next few months I’ll realize that I have an option that I can’t see right now.
