Reply #39: Okay...I just have a question

and I'm NOT being flippant or anything----but you say you've been employed for 3 years, have tapped out your retirement, are $20k in debts to your relatives---I can't imagine you're receiving any more unemployment benefits.

But you say you can't get a McD's job because the $$ wouldn't even pay rent----how are you paying rent now?

If you're taking it from your retirement---get the McD's job so you don't have to take it from your retirement anymore, or not as much...

I have to believe that making $400 a month at McD's is better than making $0 a month---

And again, please don't think I'm being critical---I really am not. I know that it's hard as shit to get a job in this economy---we're not in the Booming 1990's anymore :-/ That's why I'm going to school to be a nurse---guaranteed job for the rest of my life right there (and plus I think it's cool...).

I'm just unsure why you're not willing to take ANY kind of work--I mean, you're not a fresh-out-of-highschool kid---get into retail management---I know the work sucks ass, but it's work and if you're a mgr, you're looking at at LEAST $22+k a year....again--not grand salary, but much better than nothing, and it's much better than being homeless....

I wish I could help you with your job search. I wish you the best. Please keep your head up.
