You can do it snopercod.

You have to stop thinking in terms of one person. It really doesn't matter if one person finds a job but 250 in the same town are laid off that same day. There is double-digit unemployment in many areas of the country --- it's not some kind of seasonal unemployment or temporary lay-off because things are a bit slow. Many plants are shutting their doors forever. How can you possibly believe falling wages and no jobs is a great thing for this country???

When rumors were flying that our small factory was closing ("consolidation") 4 years ago, that is when I took action. I immediately got a part time job and they liked my resume so much I was offered a full-time job plus 2 more dollars an hour. I stayed part time, the factory didn't close and have since been promoted to the corporate headquarters, and am currently talking with my cousin to start a business (3rd job) in our spare time. I refuse to be a victim, boxed in by my thoughts.
