So fml....i got let go again. I guess my store, which was already understaffed, needs to cut more hours from there budget  so of course they start with the new people. And sadly i don't qualify for unemployment this time so i have nothing to help buffer the time that im out of work this time.

I'm really sorry Kariann.  I went through almost a year of unemployment and know how bad it feels. 

Do you have any ideas on what you plan on doing?  What's your trade?  Do you have some college background?  I'm sure there is something for you.  Just focus on your strengths and eventually you will find a good match.  Good luck! :)

Check into getting your HSED while unemployed. It is free to study for it and then when you actually do find work you can afford the tests. DVR has been known to help pay for those and help with some funds to survive while in school.

Depending on where you are at, you can apply with Marsden for general janitorial work. Trans friendly and nation wide with no diploma needed. Low wages but it is employment.

don't worry too much. A good percentage of jobs out there don't require much of an education. It might be hard to be a doctor though.
