Re: Someone make me feel better about this ~$60,000 piece of paper
I also have worked retail and in restaurants. I have the agree with you dear, nothing was as hard as being a CNA. I never got breaks, or to sit down during shift. Cleaned up vomit and blood, and helped with the deceased. I still loved helping people. Then...I got laid off 2 years ago. I worked for a company doing tech support for a while, but that is over now. I go to school full time racking up tons of student loans. It sucks for everybody!

Currently finishing off my BSC in Kinesiology and waiting to hear back from an interview for a MSC in Physiotherapy (another 2 years of schooling). I work as a gardener in the summer, and work has been tough to find in the last couple years for sure. I hope things are a little better when Im done my MSC. Good luck, and I hope things turn around for everyone,

My friend recently graduated from GT with a highly marketable degree, still took him at least 3 months and 2 dozen interviews to start getting offers (That's getting offers, not actually getting a job).
Oh man that sucks. I cannot believe just how many people are affected by this and struggling to get a job.

Ugh yeah! Hardest job ever. The job I'm laid off from was a little too close to CNA work for me. I have to admit I'm a little thankful to be laid off! CNA's are angels! :gj: My mom is an RN, I could never do that either. Are you going to school to be a nurse or are you taking a different path?

Good luck to you too! I would like a masters degree eventually and I know it's just about the best thing to do in this market because it delays when you start looking for work, but I am so tired of school!
