If I'm supposed to be looking for a job,
why do I spend so much time on DU? I get the newspaper every day and find that I seem to get only an overview of the news. On DU, I feel in concert with so many others who share my humble opinion. After my several-times-daily check of Monster.com and a bunch of other job search sites, its back to DU. Once in a while I check out the travel sites, I can dream, can't I? Thanks to all who keep me sane through this. P.S. Don't ever try to find a job if you are over 60 and aspire to more than a "welcome to" job. I can dream, can't I?

1. I'm in the same boat, I am either over qualified or under qualified
Looking back I reaaly should have taken the business route in college.

2. The only answer I have found is to make your own job..
What would you do if you could? Do it.

9. Remember
It pays to advertise, and be careful what you ask for you may get it.

4. I'm with you.
I hate my job (except for the ample internet time) and have been looking for a new one for months with no luck. Too much experience, too little, blah blah blah.

Welcome to DU where we'll keep each other relatively sane. :hi:

6. I am supposed to be cleaning my house
Come on over and I'll pay you to clean. Then we both get done what we need to get done. :)
