Act 1

Well, here is my first posting. Let us see if I can keep up with it all.

I am in my mid-twenties, live in the suburbs, and I am one of the who-knows-how-many unemployed in this country. I search for a job for months, finally get anything, and get laid off at the first budget cuts. Then, back to the classifieds for months. I am lucky if I make enough money at any one job to cover my bills during the dry months.

What is the use of getting an education in this country? Day-laborers make more in a month than I do in an average quarter-year with a four-year degree and computer training.

Well, enough grousing for a first post. We will see how the job hunt goes this week.
