7/30/2013 3:19:10 AM Posted: 6 years ago A few years ago, I decided I wanted to learn to play the drums. I've always loved the drums. Whenever I listen to music, I hear the drums first. I can listen to a great jazz drummer like Art Blakey for hours on end. I'd give up almost anything to be as good as Glenn Kotche of Wilco.
The path to learning the drums is pretty clear. You sign up for some lessons, you get some pads, you get some sticks, you learn some drills, and you practice. And you keep practicing. Every surface"your desk, your leg, your steering wheel"becomes a drum. You get better over time, but you never really stop practicing. |

It has been nearly a year since I got my A.S. in Business, and still no-one will hire. I've applied to every job opening within a 15 mile radius. It would probably be easier to start your own business, than to get hired in this economy. Of course you would need start up capital to do that.

And if I obtain a job in another state, I must have enough time to find a landlord before I start work; otherwise it would be impossible to commute. Commuting to another state is even harder than commuting within my own state. It's a catch 22. All I can hope for is that someone will eventually hire me within 15 miles. Once they hire me I can than move closer to work in order to reduce transportation costs. "Chemical weapons are no different than any other types of weapons."~Lordknukle |

I have no plans on leaving my job, but if you find a decent paying job that you'd like to do search for a house or apartment already in your budget. Eventually move, but apply for the job before you move and purchase the area. This way if they don't accept you you just drive home. If there's no jobs near you, it's probably best moving anyway.

Because there are so many people competing for work, jobs paying a living wage require either a Bachelor's degree, 4 years of previous work experience, or an AS degree and 2 years of previous work experience.

7/31/2013 10:35:01 PM Posted: 6 years ago For the past year I have been working with 2 different employment agencies, and 1 job coach, and I still can't get hired. The job coach was through the NH Vocational Rehab program.

Maybe get a Bachelor's degree by going to school again if you can. That is a very tough situation though. It's usually good to research what jobs you can get with a certain degree and attempt to find them. But one thing for sure is you need to get out of that area somehow. You could always (bear with me) get a loan of some sort. I can manage my anger if people can manage their stupidity. |
