Job Hunting

[aqua13_99]

I've spent the last few days taking time to update my resume and post it online. Not a big deal, however I'm getting increasingly frustrated at the lack of jobs in my field. Sometimes I wonder why I majored in Media Production. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE being creative and producing something from nothing I just hate the fact that there are no jobs for me really around here. I really don't want to move too far away because I believe that family is extremely important and I want my son to have a relationship with both sets of grandparents which live relatively close to us now. I don't want to live in a city either, unfortunately that's where the jobs are in my field. I don't know what to do. I have a job now but it doesn't pay as much as I need it to and the hours are loooong. I'm sick of working long hours, having a crazy schedule, dealing with people who don't want to work, and getting paid crap. I don't want to waste my degree either. Luckily I don't have any student loans but I didn't go through four years of education for nothing. I guess I'll just apply to as many places as I can and hope for the best. Untl then I'm stuck in a crappy job. At least I have a job which is more than some people have right now, so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. Matt's still job hunting too and I'm crossing my fingers for him as well. He hasn't had a job in almost 6 months and his unemployment (that he finally got approved for) is going to run out soon. I think I'm just worried that when his unemployment runs out I won't be able to support our family on my salary. All I can do is keep looking and hoping.
