AZ, times are really hard right now, no lie. A friend of mine was
sobbing to me the other night that she feels so worthless she can't
even get hired at Wal-Mart. They saw her 2 year degree and labeled her
"overqualified". Meanwhile I am going back to school this fall to get
a second masters degree that will give me the teacher certification I
need.
The jobs will come back. This economic downturn will turn back up
eventually, they always do. It is a bad time to be out of work,
though. Keep hanging in there.
