I have been out of a job for about eight months now and I am having a hard time finding a new job that makes decent money. I can find a job that does not utilize my degree however I will continue to struggle. I became depressed, angry, and ashamed on where I am at in life. I began to think of the jobs that I am interested in and just about all of them are asking for a Bachelors degree. Well, I began to think about what I want to accomplish in life and furthering my education will help with that. I know continuing to be depressed will not help my situation. I expect to learn how to think more outside the box, how to analyze every detail and make the best decision for me and my family and career.
