In this thread, you'll be able to talk even vent about being unemployed for any length of time, how it feels and what you're doing to keep busy during this time.
I'm sure most of you are familiar with my situation. I've been unemployed for two years after college even though I have a college degree and I'm a licensed veterinary technician and no one and I mean no one is willing to give me a chance because I have very little experience! How am I supposed to get experience if I'm not hired because I don't have any? That is the stupidest thing ever! Being unemployed feels like you're the biggest failure in the world, you feel like you did everything right, but you feel like you did everything wrong! Maybe I chose the wrong college, another possible reason why I can't find a job! They want people who graduated from another college with the same major I graduated with! I know I'm not the only one in the country that's experiencing this, but I feel like I'm the only one sometimes. Everyone I know in college has the job they want, but me! And pretty much everyone in my family has a job but me! Well, my brother doesn't have a job either, but that's a different story. So far, I've been keeping busy with exercise, catching up on continuing education and watching TV and reading, but that's not enough for me. I pretty much get bored every single day and I'm sick of it!
If you currently don't have a job, what are your stories?
