82. No job, living with parents, everything I own fits in two suitcases,
but at least I'm not out on the street.

I can't even find shitty retail or temp work around here and my masters degree is completely useless.

In the past year I've had seventeen job interviews and only one offer which fell through because the company went under (after I'd already given notice at my other job). Most places have been telling me they're getting 2-300 applicants for each job and the jobs are crappy paying part time work I could have gotten with my qualifications ten years ago.

The only consolation is that everyone else is having a hell of a time too and the four month gap in employment won't look so awful on my resume.
