Living on the dole is not exactly uplifting I would imagine and cannot be good for ones ego. An unemployment record can be detrimental in an interview and the prospective employer will look more favorably on someone who at least has a job.
Fortunately I did not buy new and was able to get my Crossfire for $230/month. I'm very comfortable with it.
I have been recently trying to find local jobs outside of my field to just do. It wouldn't be so much of an ego killer if I didn't have student loans. I'm concerned I wouldn't be able to find a simple job that pays enough to cover my expenses which includes student loans; yes two separate ones.
I never liked being on unemployment. I need to go somewhere during the day and have something to do, a task that I'm good at that takes talent and pays well. I don't have to be an executive but to have enough to afford a normal life.
