What is Your Employment Situation?

Just a little update about my employment status.

I was luckily hired by my cousin's previous boss also his childhood friend to work for his electronic business as an ecommerce technician. I had experience selling online on Etsy/Ebay, so I was hired on the spot without a job interview. It's been almost a week and a 1/2 I've been working there, but the boss has a lot of unrealistic expectations for me. He wants me to make 20k in 3 months on Amazon, Ebay, and his website.

The thing is this ecommerce business is a new thing, so he can't expect immediate progress. It can take almost a year for an online business to be successful.

Anyway, this week my dream job location has three positions opened. My dream has always been working in a museum as a scientific assistant. I got my degree in geology, so I wanted to do Earth-science related work. Just applied and wishing for the best *_* I was a former 2 year volunteer at the museum, so I hope I at least get an interview.
