[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. He has a masters degree from Georgetown and wanted to go to one of the Fed agencies. He was not able to get in and has been trying different things. Most recently he attempted self employment and became discouraged when his work dried up. [b]He was also in an abusive marriage where his wife was upset with him for lot being ready to have children[/b] which also brought him down I think.

He feels very depressed and doesn’t know how to obtain gainful employment and thinks he is too old now. [/quote]

That does not qualify as an "abusive marriage".

What type/subject area is his master's degree ?

[b]FWIW Lots of well educated individuals work at low level jobs (think Starbucks/Walmart/Home Depot/Lowes/tutoring students) in order to get into the workforce and earn money.[/b] Everyone has to start somewhere.[/quote]

This is outdated, wrong advice. The job market is awful (yea, even for low level
jobs). These places aren’t hiring people either advanced degrees from Georgetown (who they know won’t stay). All applications are done online and AI scans them for *recent* retail experience. None? You don’t even get an interview.[/quote]
Not true. We are hiring in Georgetown without any experience. Walk in or send a resume. We need about 10 new workers and this is a small business. 
My 18-year old got hired in VA right after interview and works 10-hours shifts at times.
My best friend goes back to her old customer service job as they can't find workers.

Who is we--Starbucks, Walmart or Home Depot in Georgetown?[/quote]
