Question:
I take it that your husband is a mining
engineer. Those jobs are very unstable. A cousin of mine married a mining
engineer. They ware always moving, and he was always changing jobs. They
finally decided that enough was enough. And they ended up making a life for
themselves in rural Nova Scotia. They don't have a lot of money, but they
are happy.
Answer:
The government is always hiring somewhere. Check at a job site or web site for
govt. jobs. Apply now, and someone will call you eventually. It's not a quick
fix, but they hire handicapped and they have good benefits available. The sooner
you apply the sooner something will open up. I did this, and when I was at my
wits end, laying on my bed too depressed to get dressed, fighting with my wife
who was in another room. The phone rang. It was the govt. job, and an airline
ticket was waiting at the airport check in counter for me to fly to my training
assignment. Also start networking. Every time you open your mouth to someone,
let them know you are looking for a good job. If you get stuck on an elevator
with someone, let them know your looking for a job before you pry the door open.
Keep trying. Most employers and business owners are hustling early in the AM and
their real day is done by lunch. That means you have to get out there and get
started looking EARLY. You can do it.
No my husband is not a mining engineer. He's worked in coal mines, power
plants and now a car parts factory. But sometimes I think I could be happy
living in rural Kalamazoo and not worrying about $$$$. Just the basics and
lots of time together... I am a very simplistic gal (translated = a cheap
date, as my hubby would say...lol)
