varietyguy Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I don't like to share personal problems but I really want to vent. I'm tired of trying to find a career. I was with a company for 5 years and figured that was going to be my career. The company closed in 2010 and I've been searching since. Granted I've had no problem finding JOBS, but It's frustrating feeling like you are worth so much more. I went from $50,000 a year with a company vehicle down to near minimum wage. While I withdrew from college to pursue a career everyone else finished. Every job I apply for requires a degree. I'm sure there are others here with similar problems. I just wanted to get this off my chest. Quote 1992 Mazda 323 http://www.stevemead...323-wall-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

big dee Posted May 30, 2012 Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 Go back to school bro. Or learn a trade. My trick to success is being versatile with ehat tou can do. Dont give up it will get easier. If it were ne i would ditch the minimum wage job and hammer down on somthing better. When a door closes another one opens. Just gotta take the step i work best under loads of pressure. Thats why i would quit the low paying job. Lol but thats me and i dont know what your full situation is to realy say if thats a good idea.

varietyguy Posted May 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2012 I will have to have a full time job to have a manageable lifestyle I have to make $30,000 a year. And I have 2 kids, so school is out of the question for now. I know I'll find something it's just these little things get to me. The only reason I'm really frustrated is I just drove to Grove city , Ohio (4 hours one way) for an interview and was told at the interview that I was not qualified to be a General Manager for Dollar General. I was a District Manager for Hollywood Video for 3 years (3 years as Store Manager) and a District Manager for Spencer Gifts for 2 years, but that doesn't qualify me to work in a small box store. Gamestop (my number 1 choice) will not hire me because I am over qualified and a security risk.
