Since retirement was better than facing "accidents can and will happen" once I came out, I chose the safer route.  Income was halved, lifestyle crunched.  I did manage to do a few extracurricular income earning events but finding work as me, in my filed of expertise, was pretty depressing.  Lesson: construction is for men, regardless of your talent, experience or knowledge.

I'd consider myself one of the under-employed.  And that's only because I have a retirement income.  Otherwise, I'd say I'm unemployed.  I wasn't ready for retirement, nor did I want to retire.
When you judge others, you do not define them, you define yourself.

Couldn't even if I wanted to. Child labor laws.
Unless i've totally misjudged your age, over 16 you can work in most places


I'm just waiting to reach that 'magic' number.
So yeah, no job. Nowhere is willing to hire me for a while. Yes, I'm young.

Does "full time student" apply if it's compulsory education?

I was unemployed all of 2009. After almost 500 resumes and applications since September of 2008 I had only 3 interviews and just today got hired.

The latter part of 2008 and the first quarter of 2009 I didn't search too hard for a job because I was focusing on transition. After my name change in April of 2009 I went full speed. I got back into school and started looking in earnest for a job.

Jobs are extremely hard to find around here right now.

Began my transitioning at the end of 2008 just prior to being hired by the trucking company I currently drive for.

Began living full time early 2009. 

Still with the same company now for 15 months.

I'm one of the lucky ones whose employment was not impacted by my transition.
