Who's in? I have a feeling I'll be joining the crew sometime this winter. Might be a good time for a career change

1.5 years of unemployment here. Been reselling and dippin into my savings to survive. Job hunting sucks when Im competing with other layoffs who hold wayyy more years of experience. TSA lagging on my contingency offer. No other leads yet. Might break down and scoop up a seasonal gig for the holidays. Surprisingly Im still sane to this day. Or am I?

I might be in pretty soon if we can't revise our business strategy to actually make some real money.

I just recently lied my way into a job and have been doing ok. Leaving next week for a much better paying part time deal. But I have been offered the same if not better position when I come back in Jan.


It's all about who you meet and networking. I learned that a long time ago...

that was by far the best part.

edit: and the fact you get every single channel. i didn't realize how much i took advantage of that, until i moved and got digital cable. it sucks scrolling through and not being able to go to every channel.

Been out since July and am currently entertaining the idea of moving to Alaska for a mining job. I am going to be hearing from a good friend of mine in a couple weeks about it and may take a trip up to check it out.

Part of the US Unemployment calculation requires that you're attempting to seek gainful employment. By the technical definition you don't have a job, but due to the fact that its by choice and you most likely aren't actively seeking employment (due to school or otherwise), you aren't a part of the "unemployment" figure.
