Employment and Unemployment - Page 2

That's tough - to me, she doesn't sound like a great candidate, but you don't want to discourage someone from something like that, either. But it -is- a huge amount of debt, too ... tough call! Maybe she'll hate it after the first semester ...

It stinks that you can't just pursue what you like anymore - you need to figure out what will sell, too - much more than when I went to school

Well, when you're hauling in the money with your TV specials, you can pay off that debt, Tessar

I just started working yesterday - though not in the field of Architecture. I'm driving as a courier for a messenger service. Timing was good though - I think last week was my final week of unemployment benefits.

Oh, congrats! But driving by car or by bike? (Have I been watching too many films?

)

Congrats.

Must be somewhat galling to have all those qualifications and experience lying idle. Best of luck with it.

Mari - there are both, and in fact, my company uses both. But I drive a car - my own car too. I'm able to get some of the bulkier loads because I have a minivan and the seats store under the floor.

Gaffer - yes, that's true.

Thanks to you both though.

I'm glad to hear that - it's good to be working! Good luck and prayers for a job that uses your skills better coming along soon, but I'm glad to hear of this job

That's good news, Val!
