Its so easy to get a job right now. Insanely easy. Might be the best job market in human history. My brother got out of prison in mid-2019 at the age of 38 with 56 felonies (including 1st degree kidnapping), no HS diploma and no job history (been in prison for 20 years) and has had 12 jobs in the last 4 years in a smallish town outside of Greensboro NC. Currently makes $22/hr in a very cheap to live town.
May not be the job you want to start, but good employees stand out and move up quickly (I’ve been promoted ~15 times in my 21 year career). You might have benefited from working with a recruiter or coach that could help you with a resume and interview practice/feedback. Someone in your situation probably did not interview well would be my guess, or were shooting too high to start.
Due to my age I assume I did not get interviews. Had I gotten interviews I think I would have done quite well.
Yes you can get a starter job and there is no shame in that.
However if you are the innocent spouse in a divorce it is not fair to you.
You get half the assets ok.
Now hubs can continue to work his $90,000 a year job and you can start as a bank teller for $25,000.
This is not right.
All I am saying is a judge needs to look at the whole story and that sometime lifetime alimony is fair. Not all the time.
