As human beings we are not rooted to the spot we are in right now. I see a lot of people posting about not being able to find employment, but maybe that's just in your area. Try expanding your search and consider relocating. I live in Minnesota but I would relocate TODAY for the chance at a better opportunity, especially for those who feel homelessness and other demises are a threat. Check out vpm3.com for contract for deed housing options. I have purchased 3 of them and they're a great alternative to renting. Maybe something they have is closer to a great job in your field? We need to start networking here on this site and pass on useful information. God bless all of you and you have my personal prayers for a successful future :) (by the way I dont work for vpm, but I'm just passing along Info on something that worked for me when I needed it.)
