HFS

Almost 40
Single
No occupation, no industry
A bullshit BS degree that gets me nowhere
Have never made a lot of money
Worked survival sales jobs which I will never again.
Switched to a secretary last year, and hate it.
Can't go back to school, have to work for rent bene's my car, do not want incur debt (really can't at my age). Will still have the same skill set.
People smart, socially conscience and smart, cultured, savvy, great communication skills, but not book smart- struggled for years and years since high school. Don't remember a lot.
Have only had full bene's once in the last twenty years for 3 years only. (now I have only health)
Going to try AGAIN to learn PowerPoint and Excel- I currently don't use (never really have), so no use, you lose it. Know basic excel and PP.
No savings
Scrape by
No more vacations
It is such a downward spiral for so long. Tired. Depresses me.
Hate when people tell me to get a new job. Not so great track record or references (the ones I do have are spectacular). Too much competition and won't get selected for lack of skills, and track record: read will never have bene's.
Have ALWAYS excelled at my jobs- last sales job, traveled and was a top performer. A great employee, never miss work. Dedicated.
Outlook for the future is bleak as all analysts predict where the future will be contract work, temp hires, very little businesses will hire so they don't have to pay bene's retirement or paid vacations- it is so bleak, don't tell me it is my attitude, being real and these are the facts.

Have you thought about keeping the same career but moving to a different location that may pay better? Or maybe it would just be cool to travel around to a different location to work just to see if there are better oportunities and such. Try to put the travel expenses off your mind while thinking about this. With summer right around the corner, everybody could use a little extra help for work. So you feel very unsatisfied with where your at right now, just think that there are much better places in the world let alone this country.
