The modern micro economic theory and the theory of consumer choice builds on the concept of local nonsatiation. The idea that no matter how much we have, no matter which of our preferences are fulfilled, there is always at least on bundle of goods, material or immaterial, that we will prefer to the current one.
I got an internship I applied for. I know, I should look for a real job, a paid job, but what with the current economic situation and the fact that I’m an economics major, internship is good.
Only, I don’t want it anymore.
Once I got it, I was like “nah, not so interesting”. It’s not enough. If it was this easy to get the internship, I should go after something more challenging. I mean, I could get something else, too. This is no longer enough.
I wonder if the internship has an NHL clause. Maybe I should ask for one.

Go get a PAID internship!

Well, that’s not really the issue here. It’s not like I need the pay check.
And I said I’d take it. I’m really bad at these things, I can’t just say “well, it’s lovely that you’re so fond of me, but I still have a few applications out there and I’d like for you to wait while I see what comes out of those.”
I’m happy someone wants me, it’s not like my CV’s that impressive!
