I can't Win

[Lone_Star]

I don't understand it anymore. I just found out that I was not invited to a career fair for a possible job. This might not seem like a big deal, but I am in a horribly situation in my current position. I have tried everything to find a new job, but with Michigan's economy its been tough. I am just so frustrated and disappointed. I guess I just needed to vent a little because I have been stuck in this position for about 2 years now, and don't see any way out. AGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

Ok end of my pity party. I guess its LSAT time, cause I can't get a job as an engineer. Ok seriously this time, end of my rant.

Hey Lone_Star, how about moving your @$$ back to Texas!!!

[Lone_Star]

You sound like my old man. And I don't have a good reason for not moving my @$$ back. I do miss Texas, minus July-August, but kinda feel like a failure for not making it without having to run home.

If in your gut you feel that going home would be best then do it. There's no shame it's called a new start in familar territory. I'm 58 and I had to do it a time or two in my life for various reasons.

I am all to familiar with having that feeling. You just have to keep your head high, and keep truck'in forward. Things will work out. We just hired a guy here that moved down from L.A. It was getting to expensive their and he was running out of money. This is a guy who's gone through college and was working in the television industry. He had to move back here and move in with him parents to try and save some money. It happens to alot of people. Just keep go'in man.

Engineering jobs are all over Florida, well, anywhere were things are being built. No shame in moving out of a bad situation.

i am in the same situation. been back in illinois with my mom since last august. cant find work myself. i recycle cans for my money. it is not much but heck it gets me something. just never give up.

I am in the same situation. Forced to move back home with my mom...starting my own detail business. Kinda slow now but I had to do it cause I had to get out of the situation I was in.

Like detailgod said Never give up...it is not worth it.

You can't really call that failure. You have to go ware the money is at. If Mich's economy is down and there aren't any jobs then you have to go where there are jobs, thats all. Just keep looking, there is always a need for good engineers.
