So I've been trying to find a job.
I have no grand career plans. Those days are far behind. I just want to work somewhere with benefits.
When you are self-employed (or self-unemployed), insurance is ridiculously expensive. Like as much as a small new sedan per year. Seriously.
This may ease a bit in 2014, or it may not - depending on the election.
I applied last week for a job at an employer with whom I have a long and positive history as a donor (in better days) and as a part-time employee (with great reviews). The base salary is in the low 30s and coverage for my family would be about $500 a month out-of-pocket. True, I am over-qualified, but I would work so hard. And I would be better than someone who is 25 and will leave in a couple of years. I'm here to stay. Not going anywhere. Want to work.
Guess what?
I didn't even get a phone interview.
