First post

So here I am, starting my first blog. I needed a release for the frustrations that have been plaguing me lately. For starters there is the fact that I am still working the same blue-collar IT job for the last three years even though I have ten years as a shift manager in a family restaurant, over eight years in the Army ( the last three as a non-commissioned officer ), a degree in IT and three years doing level 2 support for a global tech company ( I won't mention their name but they are beating the crap out of SCO ). It's been six months and still nothing. What the hell is going on? Does anyone think I'm not qualified? Visit my online resume, and tell me what you think. I visit all of the job sites; Monster, Dice, America's Job Bank, Careerbuilder, and Craig's List. Is there something I'm missing? My student loans are coming up and guess what, I don't qualify for economic hardship. WTF!!! I'll have to drop our health insurance to make the payments. Where are all the jobs? I'll tell you, pick up the phone and call tech support and see who answers the phone. Outsourcing is killing the job market. I don't mind it if it's a global company and they use workers from that country; I'm all for that.
