Three degrees, substantial experience in the private sector (graphic design and software training) and I still can’t find anything except sparse adjunct positions with no benefits or stability. I’m afraid that this recession will either have created a lost generation of highly trained and highly educated unemployed workers or a class of employed workers who have no mobility whatsoever.

hello, I have been collecting unemployment for about two months now after 9 years at my job as they went bankrupt, I started a new job but I am under qualified for this position and feel it is not a fit as I am lost an have no idea what I am doing half the time, and the position is better suited for someone with more expirience. If I quit because of this, will I be able to still receive UI benefits in MN?

ok so i am a cnc programmer/machinist i make half way decent money at my current job but after being a cnc programmer in the air conditioned office to being back on the shop floor kindda sucks but its a job. i make about 15k less than i did 3 years ago. the biggest problem i have is since i used to design tooling and program 3 4 and 5 axis milling machines i am now writing programs for simple stuff. yeah i am over qualified but i also am paying my bill for now once i see unemployment start to come back down i will go back to doing what i really want to do or open my own machine shop and make my own money. sad to say though once i open my own shop i will be just as cheap as my previous employers were i wont give raises no bonuses none of that hell i wouldnt even offer health insurance i guess i will just be another greedy business owner.

i was in the barber business for more than 17 years.i was very successfull in the business,owning 6 different locations in major shopping centers.i had 2 partners and our shops were very busy indeed.i mayed plenty of money from 1994-2010.eventually though,the economy took its toll(along with a divorce).and i found myself in dyer straigts.just 2 months ago i landed what i thought was a geat job at a beauty college working as a barber instructor.the job has been a nightmare.my students are 9 guys that are just a bunch of punks.i have not been able to perform my job properly because i am not familiar with some of the proceedures and the paper work alone is overwhelming.the guys i try to instruct are completely disrespectful and disgusting.they dont want to do anything but screw around and they treat me like i dont kno anything even though i have tremendous knowledge of the hair business and am also a top notch haircutter.the other instructors that work at the college have not anywhere near my experiences and knowledge in the business and yet they manage to conduct thier classes much better than me.this whole instructor thing is new to me and im struggling to make it.everyday i think i will be fired.now they put a girl in the class(one of the other instructors) to help me and she was only in the business for 5 years before they hired her
she is trying to sometimes boss me around and frankly i resent it
i have not yet met the challenge of this new job,yet at the same time,i feel like i have so much more expeience in the hair business than everyone else i work with.i did a flet top haircut on a maniquin head the other day and the students had nothing good to say about it.are they aware that ive done 5,000 flat tops and satisfied customers?.this is just to frustrating.no respect.

I lost my job from Sun Microsystems back in 2008. I was denied unemployment, and haven’t been able to find work since. I have 5 years management experience, and worked in music retail, selling instruments. Yet every job I apply for, I’m told that I’m overqualified. I’m at my wit’s end here. Just had a baby two months ago, and have using ebay and craigslist just to scrape by. I’ve closed ALL gaps on my resume, but I can’t catch a break. Yet, my drunken idiot cousin can bounce from job to job. Makes me wonder if I’m just too smart to be hired, or crazy as it sounds, I’m not female so nobody wants to give me a chance. Don’t know what to do anymore.

I have been underqualified for every job I have held since 1999. I know I have done a good job, but somehow there is never money for raises or promotion. I am not materialist (I never spent when I had money and I never had kids because and never got sucked into that house trap). Therefore, I always felt free to walk out when I got passed over or some such thing.

Now I have been kicked to the curb once again at age 48. I didn’t believe it at first, but I have begun to see myself as retired.

Thing is, I know I was a lot smarter than my co-workers and many of my supervisors. I don’t care whether you believe it or not.
