Taking a worse job.

92% Normal
10 Comments

I'm a 30 year old guy who was recently a COO for a 12 person medical company. I have my MBA and JD and things were looking up. Then I got fired. I've gone through all my money looking for work the past 2 months. Now I'm just going shop to shop looking for any way to make ends meet. I know I'm lucky to be where I am, but the setback sucks. is it normal to be extremely frustrated?

Is It Normal?

    You are broke and have no job so I don't agree that you are lucky to be where you are. But welcome back anyway JD777.

      Idiot bosses didn't know how the company was supposed to be run.

    I guess the lesson you are trying to pass on is that one should have a lot more than a two month financial cushion, in these uncertain times?

      Ya...I had just spent a lot of money to move out there, and was saving what I could, but not nearly enough.
