per wiki: "He who does not work, neither shall he eat is a New Testament aphorism cited by John Smith in Jamestown, Virginia." when we couldn't find a good job, we moved. yup, packed up and went to where the work was.  you didn't read what i wrote, you merely reacted. i, too, have worked since 14. currently i work no less than 5 jobs. i see lots of jobs open on cl. do what many of have had to do: settle till something better comes along. work hard. cut your expenses. figure it out.
