As I sit back and think about the many years Since I moved to Dublin, Ga, as a 14 year old child, I can never really recall having to worry about a next meal, or a next bill. Now 17 years later, I have three small children of my own, and I cannot think of a day here lately, that I havent worried about just that. I never had a problem with finding a job, as I am a very hard worker, and If a person knew me, they knew me to be an honest, hard worker. Now, unemployed since October of 2008, I am beginning to despair over the bleak future I see before us. What happpened, that a hard working, honest family man, cant go out and find the job or resources he needs to provide for his family? Ive been to the Dept of Labor at least 2 days out of each week for the past 3 months. And the worse part is, I havent even had the first phone call, or interview scheduled. Ive posted resumes on all the career websites, Monster; Indeed; HotJobs; etc, and still nothing. So now, being a father to 3, and not knowing if Ill be able to find employment or not is becoming all to real and scary. Im just waiting for a law to get passed where they take the only source of income we have ( my wifes SSI, DIsabilty Check) And when that happens, well, I just dont want to think that way. I did manage to get enrolled into school this year at HGTC, through financial aid, so maybe the outcome of that will be a more promising career path, as I am majoring in computer networking. But in the meantime, if you know of any other resources for finding employment, please do share. I just know soon, that God will bless us all.
