I can only speak for myself, when I say that I see opportunities everywhere I go. I am fortunate, to have been empowered to achieve a college degree, work experience, and on-the-job training. Not everyone has been able to do this, and we need to play 'catch up' with that important & troubling matter! However, when one works in activism like I do, on a daily basis, there are chances to make a difference all of the time. In fact, my so-called "problem", is trying to figure out which jobs to pursue, and which ones not to! I had to cultivate this positive 'can-do' attitude, in order to protect me from being too narrow, in my job search, lest I close myself to the possibilities, both big & small. Over the years, I volunteered to help with special projects, that were not officially part of my regular job duties, but I gained so many worthy skills, by doing so! I am not rich, by any means, as I continue to seek the answers to my questions, AND I do work for a company, that I actually enjoy immensely. I finally see the value in looking at our new desert landscape reality, in terms of the fact that there are valuable acorns being overlooked, by far too many in our society, especially some of those who are at present, unemployed. For me, salary is not the only factor I take into account, when considering a position. It has to be about more than just money, while at the same time, acknowledging my worth to an employer. Thanks!

Nice of you to drop in and let those of us less fortunate know how well you are doing.
By the way, having a degree is not all that helpful in getting a job these days.
And if you have a degree, you won't be hired for the "acorns" that pay less. Not everyone can afford to "take into account" things other than salary. How arrogant of you. MOst of us will take any minimum wage job we can find, whether or not we have a college degree.
Your only point seems to be that you are glad that you have a job.
Yay you.
