I know how you feel. I was laid off in March... and I'm still job hunting. I have a BA in Psychology....but all the jobs I'm finding only want to pay like $10/hr. I don't know anyone who could possibly live off that.. at least not with today's skyrocketing prices. I'm taking my time with my job hunting (I've also had to deal with identity theft, so the job search has had to take a back seat). I'm just now starting my search again... and it's so frustrating. Either companies aren't hiring, or they're only willing to pay 8-10/hr. I have my degree and am worth way more than that. I was making more than that on my last job, and I refuse to take any less. I've just started looking at government jobs... they pay way more depending on the job, but it's definately better than what I'm seeing on job sites and craigslist and such.
Have you filed for unemployment? They don't pay much, but at least it will help a little bit. A bill has also been passed to award people 13 more weeks of unemployment compansation for people who have exhausted their unemployment.
