On the Subject of Being Unemployed...

When I was working, I always said to myself "Wouldn't it be nice if I were to win the lottery and never have to work again?" I think that, had I actually won the lottery, the experience of being without work might be quite enjoyable but for myself and the millions like me being unemployed in this economic downturn can be, and often is extremely frustrating and depressing.

I continue to apply for jobs, but with my career field of choice being IT, there is a heavy saturation of the market place from the Y2K surge nine years ago. So much so in fact, that I'm considering switching career fields altogether. I'm even starting to look at the possibility of travelling to a different city where there may be more jobs available.

One thing is for sure: things are tough right now.
