Get a Job!...Any Job

Widget_bq2sxd5zfgyibkn5kc65tu

Take it from Desperate Housewives star, Eva Longoria: desperate times call for equally desperate measures. (Okay, we know that no one who works at the Wendy’s drive thru looks like that, but…) If you are an able-bodied individual of working age, skip the unemployment line, suck it up, and just get a job somewhere in the meantime. That “mean” time might be pretty mean and will almost certainly be leaner than you’re accustomed to, but at least you’ll be paying your own bills. Going on unemployment is not going to help revive our economy, which in turn, is not going to help you find a job in your field of expertise any quicker. Also, it will come back to bite you come tax time next year…
