Hi Dave.

I know it's tough. Sometimes when we make these programs the "experts" make it sound like no big deal. Is self employment an option? Is there anything you can do with the computer? Web site development and such? Possibly some other enterprise? One of my friends was in for 12 years and started his own lawn care company because he couldn't find anything. He's done very well and is his own boss. Hope this sparks some ideas.

I wish it was that easy!!!!

I could not survive with out doing a few scores a year. I get denied employment all the time, after the back ground come back, all is ok during the interview, till they get that FBI check back, the employer goes slient, no phone calls no communication unless it is the voice mail.

So here I am again looking for work, any ideas, I will listen, call me 614-648-0376
