Or is everyone still unemployed? If you did find a new job is it in the same field and is it better or worse? ---

I’m still unemployed. Have had a handful of offers, 3 locally and 2 out of state, all in the same field, around the same pay ( some +/- ). Problem is, I don’t want to do it. Once severance is done being paid, I’ll be switching professions. 🙂 ---

Apparently it’s pretty damn hard to find an internship as well these days. As long as I find something by summer, I’m happy. ---

> [@blackout](#): > > Same here, I’ll take my $310 UI check until I’m done with school in April. you bastard!! lol. Thats how much I usualy got a week in my normal check lol. I only get $183 a week for UI. I’m working on a few things right now. I have an Orientation today with the plumber’s union, and I am also trying to get into Cellino Plumbing in west seneca. Either job would be an awesome career for me.
