Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - Job hunting: the most demeaning activity ever?

I'm posting this short message first to preface my following post:

This is going to be an update of the past month's activities as covered by the original post (moving back in with my parents, more job hunting, etc). This is also going to be a massive rant. Things have NOT improved one single iota.

This is going to be my final rant on the topic (well, hopefully).

I apologize sincerely in advance: this is going to step on some toes, and may come off as offensive to some. I do not intend to insult; I merely wish/need to speak my mind frankly, and some of this may come off as abrasive.

I also give my welcome in advance, for saying the bold things that need to be said by people that are in similar positions as me, and who would find what I am about to say helpful in some way (even if just to vent along with me).

I also have a request... No, perhaps a [very polite] demand:
I want the "big dogs" to step in the ring here: I want to see Steve and Erin and other major contributors drop their comments.
I feel that whatever your comments may be - despite whether you offer advice, chastise me (and others) for wallowing in self-pity, or even just leaving a random comment or thought - at least I would know that EVERYONE is conscious about what is happening to the people in this country, and not just the country itself.

So, I'll have to draft it up now. Please read when you get the chance, and thank you for your time in advance.
