Job vs. Jobless

During this second week of job seeking, I have gone through quite a numbers of interviews. Last week, my schedule was rather full. Interview by interview, from Monday until Friday. I told one of my housemate that those interviews, some is encouraging and some, very discouraging. While I am sending as many application as I can to firms and attending interviews, a friend of mine told me that she is resigning from her job. This evening, a housemate was telling me that she is frustrated with her work. I started to wonder why people need to work. I am desperately needed a job to start my career and get my life settled down and not moving around anymore and these people... have been telling me that they want to resign from their job. ...
I was discouraged from bad interviewers to be honest. Some of them, really look down on me because I do not have good explosure ( I still don't blame my master nor the firm) and some of them, think what I am asking for is too high ( That's what my previous firm offered, and I use it as a basic). So, I have been given no choice, but to start sending my application to the big firm as what I have learned for the past 1 year, is what a big firm's job. ...
This morning, I received an email from this firm call W & P. For the first time, I was asked to enclose my examinations transcript and my C.L.P transcript. ... I am wondering, if this is what they want for their lawyers, I don't want to work with them because I don't want to work with those who are not practically trainned.
To many people, I think I did draw a line somewhere.. a little bit below the PERFECT point. May be it's a bit too high. I.e. Ethical firm, no illegal works, no academic focused firm, etc. Well, I guess I am just asking for a BETTER life, that's all.
This week, it's a bit quiet because I sent all my applications to the big firms last Friday. It will take them about 2 weeks to get back to me. If I heard nothing from anyone by next friday, I will start sending application to Kota Kinabalu and Tawau's firms.
