KAPital does have a point. My housekeeper is self employed, charges $60 a pop and is so busy that I have to schedule her three weeks in advance. Due to my own trials and tribulations I'm very critical but also empathetic of people who claim to not be able to find a job. I primarily joined the military to pad my resume, not going to lie. I also moved to the opposite side of the country to further my career; it wasn't easy to leave my comfort zone but I did it because I had to. When I see people unemployed who don't seem to have made the same sacrifices I did, I tend to think that they are not trying hard enough to make it. Hate me for it if you want, but it's my life experiences that brought me here. Degrees don't equal skills, I'm sorry. I like to ask unemployed grads what they studied in school, and it's usually something along the lines of art history or Chicano studies. That's great if you want to study that for personal enrichment but to expect to get a viable career out of it is unrealistic in my mind.
