Staying positive until the job market opens up again is all any one can do.

I agree with you Jap. My son filled out applications for over 2 years before he found a job, but I still had to tell him that things would get better if he keeps a positive outlook. in the meantime, I had to make sure that I kept a positive attitude myself. It was hard as heck, but it paid off. He is now working and looking back at where he was and where he is now. Good things come to those that wait patiently and ask GOD for help.
