Who else feels like their ship hasn't come in?

  Author:  33256  Category:(Discussion) Created:(11/12/2006 5:49:00 PM)

I'm so frustrated. I'm 29 and still not married, no boyfriend and no job. I've been busting my tail ever since I got out of college when I was 22 to find a job in my field (graphic design), or at least something commensurate with my four-year degree.

I've worked a few different jobs (including one where I incoporated my graphic design skills), but either had to leave them for various reasons, or got let go for reasons beyond my control (not to mention that I endured verbal abuse at my two longest places of employment). Every time I get a new job, I take what I can get because by the time I've been rejected for all the good jobs, money has run out.

It's not like I'm not trying! I send out resume after resume and go to interview after interview. Still nobody wants to give me a chance. I graduated mangna cum laude from college, am a hard worker, possess excellent people skills, have an excellent work ethic, am friendly/outgoing, and am a jack of all trades. Yet, nobody will give me a chance, either employment or romance wise.

I feel like time is running out. I feel like such a loser because I expected myself to be a lot further in life than I am now. I hate telling people my employment history/situation because it is so embarassing. I just want to "settle down" like a lot of people my age. I might even lose my apt. that I worked so hard to get because I'm making less money working part time, than I did on unemployment (but just barely over the limit for public assistance). Oh, and I have no health inusurance (just barely make too much for that, too.)

Every time I read the paper, someone my age or younger is getting married. Most of my cousins are married. One cousin was so lucky that she had one boyfriend for 6 years, split up, and met Mr. Right 6 months later (and now is married, has 2 kids and a boatload of money).

I don't need a lot of money, I just want the means to "settle down." Is that too much to ask???

I pray and pray and pray, but my prayers go unanswered.

Miss Jeni

It was a job that I settled for because I couldn't find anything else. I'm way over qualified for the job and the pay is just lousy. I'm still looking for something better. I actually never stopped looking after they hired me. I knew it wasn't for me from the start. But so far, I havent had a lot of luck. As for the boyfriend thing...shrugs...I may turn out to be an old spinster...lol. I hope you find something better soon!

Date: 11/12/2006 6:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 63026    I'm 21, not married, Ok Job, No License. I'm finally moving out. I Know what you mean. It feels like I'm running in circles. In 2007 it's all over. I'm tearing it up, and I'm going to take over everything. Noone will see it coming. I'ts going to be exciting.  
Date: 11/12/2006 6:21:00 PM  From Authorid: 22188    *Hugs* Hun, I know how you feel. I'm 23, but I know sometimes I feel like time is running out for me too...and mostly I just get frustrated because I can't wait until everything works itself out. BUT that's just it...things aren't going to work themselves out on their own. My best friend recently met a new man, and I think I've really learned something from watching her grow in the past several years. After a long journey and a lot of pain, she's finally become someone healthy and independent...and then what do you know? A wonderful man walks right into her life. Sometimes I just have to remind myself that in order to be given the man I'm supposed to meet, God needs me to first be the person THAT man is supposed to meet. Your day is coming, sweetie, you just hang in there. Make the best of what you've got, and keep working toward what you want. It'll pay off.

Date: 11/12/2006 6:48:00 PM  From Authorid: 17014    I'm in part of your same boat- I'm 29, no kids yet (but all of me and my boyfriends friends have them), not married (even though we've been together a little over six years), I'm a CNA and a CMA but want to go further into nursing and don't know if I want kids first or get the career first. 29 years old and I feel like my clock is ticking when it comes to having kids...I can totally sympathize with you.  
Date: 11/12/2006 7:17:00 PM  From Authorid: 62849    23 here, but I'll be your age at least before I'm done with school. I don't know what I want to do for a career and money... I mean, I have an idea of what I'd like to do but you know how that goes. It's hard to get where you want to go if you don't have the money to get yourself there in the first place. I'm very envious of all of the kids I knew in high school and college who didn't have to work through it all to afford it. I'm not envious of the money, but I'm envious of the time they had to study and sleep so that they could get through in 3 or 4 years... Fortunately I'm working on the family part of it, but the completing aspects are still a few years off. Don't worry, things have to look up for all of us sometime..

Date: 11/12/2006 8:06:00 PM  From Authorid: 4995    I wouldn't get married again if someone PAID me!!!! I WISH I was you right now. TREASURE your personal freedom and hold it close to you like gold. Being married is like being in prison. No offense to those who marriage is working..but I am so darn happy to be single with an occasional date now and then I wouldn't trade it for the world. And listen..you NEVER EVER EVER..and I mean EVER know what life has for you around the corner. If you dont believe me..you just wait...it DOES get better when it seems it won't..

They don't want to know where it comes from and nobody in the field wants to say there are more talented people out there. So most companies think, Oh I have some of them, don't need any more. .. Maybe doing custom logos or web graphics for companies. ? Do them before they need them, then send them the graphics and tell them the price. Might be worth a shot?. .who know. you are so NOT a loser.
Date: 11/13/2006 1:48:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 33256    Thank you everyone for your kind and thoughtful replies. I really appreciate it! You USM'ers rock!  
Date: 11/13/2006 11:02:00 AM  From Authorid: 855    Even though i said my ship already sunk,It's really not to bad ,You sound like your a very smart person going to school and graduated mangna cum laude from college,WOW that in itself is great, I never got the chance to go to college,so dont feel so down you will get what you worked so hard for in time.
