diesel and NicoleC - Thanks for the nice advice, but (and it's a big but at that) I think what most people look for in a job is a source of income, rather than something to do. Yes, I can play music and I have a teaching certificate (social studies), but I am not certified to teach music (other than beginner guitar lessons down at the local music store). That's the bind that this modern economy puts you in.

I was reading an article on Sunday about graduates with Harvard MBA's who are going to go unemployed this year. THERE ARE NO JOBS FOR NEW HARVARD MBA's. These guys spent over 150 grand on a piece of paper that makes them over-qualified to do any of the sh*t jobs that people are standing in line to get.

It's a sad and twisted world, economically speaking. Good thing we have the music, isn't it.

Believe it or not, I am doing OK, relatively speaking. And I believe that something good is going to happen soon. I just know it has absolutely nothing at all with GWB's guarantee of a MILLION (count 'em) jobs.
