I have been out of school for over 6 months & I still cannot find a fucking job!! I am about the only person in my entire class that doesn't have a job. I cannot stand just being a bum any longer.I have sent my resume to literally maybe 40 or so different places.I don't know what the hell else to do.

The problem I have been running into is the fact that most employers frown upon someone who is entry level.They don't want to put any time nor effort in possibly training someone.I went to school for this.I didn't spend 12 fucking grand to go do something else.I graduated in the top 3 of my class with perfect attendance straight a's,but that doesn't matter to these potential employers.They want in field experience.I have had over a dozen interviews & once I tell them I just graduated from Environmental Technical Institute back in September,they almost get offended,like I said something wrong.Nobody wants to give me a chance.I worked in retail @ Dominick's for over 17 years & then they offered me a buyout in January of last year.I took the buyout of 30 grand before taxes & that is when I decided to go back to school.Since I worked in retail for so long,I almost flat-out refuse to work in retail anymore.I went through a lot of bullshit in the last few years of working @ Dominick's.It was so bad that I wasn't eating,I couldn't sIeep,& it just had an overall negative effect on my entire life.I deliberately stayed unemployed during school so I could focus on my homework & studies.Since I graduated last year in September,I have worked @ 3-4 different places ,but most of them for over 2 weeks.I cannot collect unemployment because I didn't make enough money to qualify for the benefits.
