Rabbit, I can't tell from your posts if you have been focusing exclusively on career positions and opportunities to get a foot in the door of the Texas beer industry, or if you've also been focusing on simply getting an income as well.
I don't know if you want to be specific about the types of jobs you've been applying for, but there seem to be two separate yet connected goals here -- beginning your career, and making money.
There are a lot of ways to make money right now, today. You may not be willing to do these sorts of jobs, though.
I also disagree that job hunting has to take at least six months for success.
I know it can be really gross to hear people cheerleading when you are having so much trouble.
Things can happen, though. One of my friends just got the ax from his job as a grocery store produce manager. He was a bit strung out after that, as you can imagine. He does have other income because he tends bar and has a photography business, although those two combined don't really supply the significant money as the other job did. He was also worried about health insurance because he has pre-existing conditions.
Within 2 weeks he was hired as a baggage handler for an airline and only has to work 20 hrs a week and gets full insurance coverage. Now he'll have insurance and income and more time to work on his passion -- photography.
This is a 52-year-old guy in today's economy, living in bohunk central Wisconsin, where the largest town is about 35,000 people, and the main airport gets 2-3 flights per day.
I'm not sure of the answers, but things do happen.
