My sister-in-law was unemployed longer than that and sat in a dark house after they turned off her electricity. Yet she wouldn’t go to McDonald’s, Burger King or Taco Bell to try to get a job.
It’s not the way you get rich, but it is money coming in and shows some initiative.
... and unfortunately taking that Taco Bell position ruins your chances of re-establishing those career opportunities you seek. The system is completely screwed... as are those who are underemployed.
