@Jennifer: I’ve been working on starting a side business–and grantwriting is something that I’m totally interested in. But I can’t get out out “start” mode and into “doing” mode….I’ve talked to and had meetings with several potential clients, but no one that I’ve talked to has the money to pay me or the vision to see that I could help them bring in some cash. I’ve even offered to write the grant and stick around to implement it…..still no go, so far.

@Brian: I concur. I’m so frustrated- I don’t know whether to spit or cry.

I hope that moment comes for the both of us. The world is really hurting right now. I think greed has taken over. Michael Jackson even said fuck it. I feel the same way about school. After undergrad, I thought about how I should have went to the military or work after high school. Plus, it doesn’t help when you’re being hired by a manager or HR rep that doesn’t have a degree. It seems like they place little value on your education. Lucky Us!

Have you ever thought about trying to start up a side business? I know you went to school to work in the public sector, but perhaps you have some transferrable skills from there would let you network and make some income until a job is to be had? I’m thinking grant writing or something of that nature. I know it’s easy to give advice, but I thought I would throw that out there.

Also, you just happened to graduate during the worst economic time imaginable. Please don’t lose your fighting spirit. The job will come, it just might come later or in a more round about way than you were expecting.
