Seriously! I'm about to snap!

So here's the deal, I'm 29, A military vet. I have 2 BA degrees and since grad, 2 years ago. I have still yet to find work. So my question is. When your backed into a corner. How much can a person take before they snap and go into the illegal market. I mean really, i'm trained for much more then robbin fools. But its starting to look pretty good so i can keep food on the table and pay my student loans. Whats all your opinions? Is it time to FSU?

Goosfrabaaaa

Well... the easy way isnt always the right way.

Dude don't do it. You know it ain't right.

#s tough right now for a lot of people.

Maybe you need to PCS civilian style? Maybe somewhere with a better economy?

True that. Cali sucks. I'm thinkin, fake id + mexico = freedom!


I don't want to do it. But i need 174k to pay off my loans for my education that hasn't gotten me much work.

This world if F**KEN BULL#! Might be time to move on. lol

so you have all that going for you... and you want to land yourself in jail...

hmm... :bnghd:

Doesn't the army pay?

I so wanted to move to Austin after grad. But it didn't work out. You like it there?

Heh. I was talking like a state with a better economy. What're your BAs in?

Yeah ain't so bad down here. Pretty chill and liberal for TX. Economy is damn good here too. A crap ton of people have moved here since 2008 like ATX was some sort of promise land. We have a lot of high end jobs available around here. Hence the degree question.

It doesn't pay once you get out. Besides i got out in late 2005.

Default on the loan. It's not like you have a lot to lose if you do.

Hang in there, I think things will take a turn for the better after the upcoming elections.

You should more to a State where there are more opportunities in your field of training. California is over-saturated with people trained in what you are. No wonder you are having a hard time finding work.

ETA:. thesungod posted some links for you....

I've applied everywhere muliple times. Can't get an interview. I am currently making a game to deploy on android. Its really fun to play and should be done in a month or 2. I really hope it turns stuff around for me. And its not that i'm not good at what I do. I'm really good. When the game is done maybe some of you all could give it a test drive for free or something. I'm only gonna charge a dollar for it when its done.

Great point. But how do you move when your in debt and have no money? I would love to go somewhere else. I bet if i was outta cali it would be way easier.

I really want to move to Austin.
