[QUOTE="Mattsmom277, post: 573909, member: 4264"] I hear you Hound. The last decent job I held was as a health promotion worker for our Ministry of Health. I worked out of a medical clinic for at risk street youth. I published books, was on national news and in magazines and newspapers. I studied both criminal corrections and as a legal assistant post secondary. So yeah, I was out of options here and grit my teeth and applied at Subway. Yes, Subway. Where I was not found suitable somehow to be a "Subway Sandwich Artist". Isn't that absolutely insane? I needed work, I needed non stressful work, it had to be walking distance to home and the hours I needed. This fit the bill even though it was **** wages and I would have had to swallow pride every time I served my successful friends their lunch on their work breaks. I had no intention of just using it as a stepping stone to bide time for a "decent career". I just wanted a dang income and a super low key position, for the long haul. I've since given up. I'm over it, simply because if one cannot at nearly 40 get hired to build a flipping sandwich according to a formula, I don't think I could handle the experience again of being overlooked by a child manager while some stoned teenager does get hired. Sending you hugs. [/QUOTE]
