[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is the OP - thanks for the comments. Visiting a career counselor might help. Not sure about the franchise thing - sounds like a big risk, and a lot of upfront money. I've seen a lot of people fail in that, so its not high on my list. To the PP who said something about being too good for a job in Philly - sorry to burst your bubble - but you must think we are some other family, because my husband has never interviewed for a government job there. To the PP volunteering at political campaigns - good for you, and I'm so sorry you are going through the same thing that we are. I am starting to wonder if soon we will have to split up the family so my DH can go off to some other part of the country to find work.
I think there are so many people out there with their heads in the clouds and no understanding of what really is going on in this country with regards to unemployment, lack of jobs and the serious dire straits some of us are in.
To make matters worse, we feel like a lot of our [b]so called "friends" have ditched us because we are no longer "in" with their crowd. Apparently being unemployed makes you some kind of leper. Its bad enough worrying about money and paying bills, but when people who you thought were your friends just stop calling or replying back to you, it really hurts. You find out who your real friends are - that's for sure.[/b][/quote]

When your DH finds another job, and he will, then never, ever turn down someone who needs help.  I do resume review for a professional group and there are some really talented people out there who need assistance, advice, an ear.

Also, I posted earlier about whether or not he has an MBA.  Sure he is already doing this, but colleges are offering career assistance to alumni because so many are going through this.[/quote]
