Sadly, I never even got to qualify for unemployment as workstudy jobs aren't "real jobs" when it counts for unemployment insurance. My last real job was as Substitute Library Assistant and it ended when I started upper division classes. I cant even get employment at any company in this mill town because they dont hire older women in tech, and if you dont have much experience, you dont even get into other pink-collar jobs.

Hello, I read you prayer request and it made me think of when my husband had told me he was sent to Home Depot for his work so he could fix something and the man who was helping him lookd real confused as to what exactly my husband was needing, he excused hiself and said he would get his manager ,that he was new to HD, he had only workd there a week ,his unemployment had run out and need'd a job a.s.a.p he was actually a Chemist! and had degress a mile long. My hubby was like daang really makes one think just how bad it had got and that he was very thank-full to still have his job..
