Trust me - been there, done that.

Same here. Early last year I was laid off for three months. It sucked big time. Granted it wasn't long, but it was enough for me to never want to be out of work again.
As much as I didn't want to, I tried to collect unemloyment benefits. I didn't get a dime. I don't support many of the social assistance programs. I believe they create more problems than actually solving them. It was a lot of fun to go ask mom if I could borrow some money to pay my bills. I don't know about the rest of you, but I hate borrowing money from people. Especcially when you don't know when you will be able to pay it back.
I'm part of those statistics, I'm working part time and have been looking for a full time job for quite awhile. It really sucks, especially since I have very little experience. Since my sophmore year in high school, I've only had two jobs. The more people that are out of work, the more people there are that out qualify you. It sucks.
Do people in India need jobs? Of course they do, but a lot of people here need jobs too. I'll probably get flamed for this but, the US Government should care about it's own citizens before some other countries. Let thier countries create jobs for them.
I've been looking at schools lately trying to figure out what it is I'm gonna do with my life. I was looking at Software engineering and the like.
I might as well scratch that and become a plumber. The US will always need plumbers right?
So, when are all the burger flippers gonna be classified as manufacturing workers?
