Job hunting is depressing me, I sent out another slew of resumes tonight. I just look at my experience and I don't have enough of what I want on there, but I need jobs to get more experience... life is a catch 22 some days.

It will work out eventually I know but I'd like eventually to start hurrying up. I want to move out into a place of my own. I want to not be living in a state of being broke despite the fact I'm working. I want the freedom that comes along with that.

I also want to call up Viv and have a good 1am ranting session lol but I'm trying to not use up all of the long distance minutes this month... must be good. Also must not interrupt her school work lol.

In my crazy amount of job searching I have arrived at a couple of rants

Firstly, people who are hiring nannys, pay your nanny more than $350 a week to look after two kids (one toddler and one infant!) 44hrs/week of work. That's so little money for such a tough job. Honestly respect your kids more than that, pay the money it takes to hire someone perfect for them, not just whomever will take the money because they desperately need it. That's around $8 an hour. Which is totally spiffy if you're paying a babysitting, but in terms of giving employment to someone, that's not kind. I'm not looking into nanny jobs but I see the ads. I got paid far better than that for 1 kid who was 9 years old. Babies are hard work, pay your nanny well for parenting them for you.

Secondly, office jobs that want 3-5 years of experience, and then want to pay $9/hr. Who on earth are you getting who has decent experience but who will work for so little cash? and if you are getting super talented people then for gods sake pay them better! Why get someone who will have to work a second job on the weekends just to be able to support themselves and their family because you won't pay a decent living wage?

I am so idealistic. I want the world to be more fair. Why should people be employed (and I mean really full time, adult job, employed, not employed as I currently am) and not be able to afford to live fairly comfortably? Just basic things, food, rent and a few fun extras, and that's sometimes beyond an employed person, there's something drastically wrong with that.
