Looking for work. Had a great job interview yesterday. I'm getting to the point where I'm starting to despair. This is bad because when I despair I get it into my head that I'm utterly unhireable. Almost every job I qualify for because of my experience requires me to have a bachelor's degree, which I do not have because I cannot afford to go to school because I do not have a job. A mix-up with the feds prevented me from obtaining grant money or loans for school, and every job wants me to have a degree, certifications I can't afford, and/or a license, which I've never needed because I live in New York City. I'm optimistic, but only because I can't afford to be depressed. I'm trying to fake it until I make it, but I can only fake it for so long ...
