Darn, the job market is depressing

[forgotten_aria]

I want an income, however small.
I don't want to trade my life for a super small one, so no full time minium wage jobs.
The little book I bought has convinced me that I'm never going to be able to start a business. There is just WAY to many hurdles to leap, to many fees to be paid, to many people you have to have on call (CPA, lawer, etc.)
Searching for no experinece jobs, part time jobs or jobs involving perl turn of nothing that would actually make me happy. Admittedly, I'm being rather picky about my commute.

I guess I need to do some foot work to find part time unskilled jobs around here. Maybe I should have answered that DJ training ad when I had the chance. I'm not even sure if that's what I want. The biggest problem is that I don't know what I want and that I only search when I'm in the right whiny mood for it.

I want to be a part time video game tech.

But really, given the state of lot of my other friends, I should just shut up about it. Y'all that are job hunting with a time limit, my sympathies.

It's very uncomfortable to have gone through the trouble and effort to learn so much, only to find out that the market doesn't have an immediate need for your skills.

I still believe that there are more people obtaining degrees than there are positions that require them. Additionally, there are a fair number of bullshit artists out there that get into jobs and don't have the slightest fucking clue as to how to do a good job.

Right now, Pittsburgh's job market isn't much better. But at any rate, if I lost my job, I'm screwed anyways because I learned SQL Server instead of Oracle.
