For me, I've been on a lot of interviews lately, and I feel like I've been doing well on them, but still no offers. It's a brutally tough job market out there right now.

Meanwhile, one of my dad's friends can't get a job, has maxed out her credit cards, has no source of income, had to clean out her savings and IRA accounts, and now looks like she's going to lose her part of the inheritance to one of her greedy sisters. Her internet, phone, cable, and all that other stuff are getting dropped and she's been going around begging for money. I thought my situation was rough, but then I look at her and I can totally tell myself it's not nearly as bad for me. Of course, I would work at a Starbucks or Whole Foods Supermarket if I had to just to avoid going into extreme debt like that. Even though I have a background of desk jobs with college degrees and an MBA, I'll do what I have to financially survive.
