Do you see any upside to the down economy?

I'd be more positive, but I forget what that feels like.
I spend so much time writing and doing things others appreciate and find entertaining, but I'm flat broke and borrowing money for living expenses. In between the tap-dancing, I'm looking for work and not having much luck. I can't believe I made over six figures for so long and now I can't find something that would just allow us to get by... It's very demoralizing, and kind of steps all over that can-do attitude, you know?

I
just
left
my
job
(well,
almost
a
year
ago)
and
have
been
so
at
a
loss
as
to
what
to
do
just
to
earn
some
money
for
bills.
I
get
really
down
on
myself
because
I
have
a
great
education
and
feel
I
shouldn't
be
stuck
like
this.
But
I
think
the
best
thing
I've
done
is
give
myself
the
chance
to
kick
the
situation
around
long
enough
until
something
feels
right.
Now
I'm
pursuing
several
options
that,
in
the
long
run,
I
feel
I
will
continue
to
be
excited
about.
So
hang
in
there
because
everything
you
need
is
in
that
creative
self
of
yours,
it
is
just
a
little
stuck
for
now.

I
agree
with
KathyHowe!
Hang
in
there
-
this
will
pass
and
will
make
you
a
stronger
person!

I
hear
ya
loud
and
clear,
Mindy.
I've
absolutely
been
in
your
shoes.
Hang
in
there...and
keep
your
eyes
wide
open
for
any
opportunity
that
will
help
pay
your
bills.
Even
if
it
is
below
your
skill
level
or
out
of
your
field,
take
whatever
job
you
can
because
you
never
know
if
it
will
turn
out
to
be
the
job
of
your
dreams.
