I hear everyone on the whole 'to many jobs' thing and I'm only 27. Here's the current dilemma. New job, not even 3 months in, I've been given inadequate to no training, my boss is panicking because he might be fired, and I'm getting my butt chewed on a daily basis. And I've been told I'm not to use the phrase 'I don't that' anymore. (I've replaced it with, so who's willing to teach me that) I have it on fairly good authority that I wont' be there much longer. I just CAN'T look for a job again. The job market around here sucks. I am either considered over or under qualified, I have no degree and darn it I really don't want to have to redo my budget again and try to live on nothing for 4 months while I look for work. Last time I looked for work even McDonald's wouldn't hire me because I was over qualified. pffft. The steadiest job I've had was 3 years ago and I had that job for 3 years. Left because I was begged to go to another one and offered a large raise. I did, only to have that new store be overstaffed and I was given the boot. Soooo started a business only to have a partner that decided she was taking it after a year and a half in business, and 15 years of friendship. So now I have debt, no savings, no relatives, no friends, about to lose my new job, no money for add meds, and frankly I want to scream at the top of my lungs. Or just find a good shopping cart now and become a bag lady. HELP!!!!!!!!!! any suggestions at all????????????????????

I can relate to living in a poor economic environment - being from Tacoma, Washington when unemployment was an all time 12% and in good markets, you are lucky to get a job at McDonalds.:eek:

Seems like your boss is also nervous about the same thing you are. He is out of a job, then what? lots of time on unemployment trying to get that job at McDs.

People in the midwest are flocking to Phoenix - as you check Monster.com, the jobs are there. I moved there without a job lined up and spent 1 day unemployed.

The fear is reversed here in the valley. Bosses are scared their subordinates will get fed up and flee to another company.

Other option is to go through nursing school, then you will be in demand anywhere in the midwest or even "Hawaii":)

Geez I ought to think about that!
