Wish you the best of luck. Finding a new good job these days isn't what it was in the 80's. I remember when you could actually find jobs in the newspaper! Hope something good happens to change your circumstances. We all may poke fun at eachother here but something serious like this you have my prayers! Hope to see you back sooner than you thought.
ive been bankrupt for 4 years, just never filed the papes. in fact i was inactive for a while also
no, wait, when i dont work for 6 months, i wont even be living in my car, i will have a sleeping bag somewhere, filing for indolence, with the court, and camping under some hedge bush.
brad where i live, 500 people apply for the same job. 1200 people, average, look at the same jobs im looking at. i had an interview this summer where i was about 35th on the call to interview. guess what? I didnt even rank for a follow up. and when the same company had two more positions open, i appled again, and i didnt even make the interview process.

I live in Cbus Ohio. It's been terrible here since about mid 90's. Graduated with a 3.5 in EET (stupid name it's just Computer Science) and with 40k in student loans couldn't find anything along with alot of other classmates that had that same degree (and solid gpa). Lots of factors tho. When I enrolled in 1998 Internet was exploding. Then 9/11 and the dot com bust and there went that. Had to adapt and go into business for myself independently. Of course not everyone has the resources or is in a field where that is possible. Definitely not living the life I thought I would when I recieved that degree. No one to blame, jobs dissappeared and people moved downward in the computer industry. Now people with 10+ years in the field are happy(maybe more desperate than happy) to take an entry level job (for entry level pay) which left me and many of my classmates up against more experience people that were willing to do the job for the same pay. Not many employers are going to risk hiring in a new graduate when the guy over there has been doing the job (or a more difficult one) for years. Never give up tho, the next job your going for may be that one you needed or wanted.
i dont forsee myself as being able to recover quick enough to keep insurance and my car or to pay for internet
its been a fun 9 years for me! *salute

Glad your situation turned around.
