the pains of unemployment

[CB7/KA8]

Keep your head up man. It'll get better. I was laid off from my solar engineering job in April of this year. Two months later I got hired by one of their competitors and we are very busy. My job is secure for now but I can definitely relate to what you are going through.

i'm thinking about looking into that "general contracting" in Afghanistan for the military. Firefighters are making like 95K a year while guys that work the mess halls or other piddly shit are earning 75k. granted you have to have a clean record and a bunch of other things but damn.. that and you get to be away from home for a while.

ibeen collecting unemployment now for about 6 months and it sucks. when i was working making 1300 every 2 weeks ,the funny shit is that i wasnt into my CB7 as much untill i got laid off from work

when the funds got low i want to start dumping money into my CB

I was talking with my friend, who was in Afghanistan couple months ago - he said, that no matter how the rates would be, he ain't comming back. He's 27 and now have insomnia, anxiety disorders etc.

i know this economy is bad.. really bad, i was without a job for 6 months from when i moved from dallas, tx to my hometown phoenix az, and now finally found a job 2 weeks ago when i work my azz off everynight for 7.50$ an hour!!! and how they make me work is worst than construction.. (i know i was an ironworker before so no joke).. bills are high and 2 tickets i still need to pay but i hope u hang in there even when u find a job where they pay you pennies.. hopefully thats not your case

If any of you live anywhere close to the ocean or driving distance to it in Texas, Louisiana, or Mississippi you can go to offshoremarineindustries.com. They are hiring right now to work offshore and inshore. I'm in the process of going through getting all of my shit together to be able to work there. You'll need money to pay for the safety class, TWIC card, and a background check. That's the bad part. But they'll take a credit card on the TWIC and Safety class but the background check has to be paid for in cash or check. Just putting this out there in case someone interested.

I know how much it sucks. I got a shitty timeline

Graduate College - Starting point 0
Unemployed and Spending all savings - 0-6 months
Find Job and move home - 6-9 months
Laid off and not able to collect unemployment - 9-12 months
Working not in my field(market sucks and is flooded) - 2 weeks

Its some money but i think i get 175-200 a month for gas and shit after school loans and credit cards. I need to start working more overtime.
