Jobs or the lack there of...

Ugh!!!! I don't know about the rest of you, but its been next to impossible to find a job!!! A full time job!! A REAL job - like a grown ups job!! You know, the nice 9am-5pm, benefits, vacation days, bonuses, type job.  IMPOSSIBLE!!! I think I've applied to over 150 jobs and I've only heard back from maybe a handful of them - literally a single handful only! Its incredibly frustrating and a bit disheartening.  Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful for my part time job in these economic times but I'm almost 30 and need a real job! I need an excuse to get out of bed at 7:30 in the morning and I'd like to be home before the sun comes down. I can't believe that I'm THIS unhireable, but then with nothing happening maybe I am, which leads to the "what is wrong with me," question? I graduated almost 4 years ago now and nothing - literally nothing!

I went to one interview that lead to a second interview.  The common theme during those interviews was that I don't have experience - but how am I supposed to get experience for an entry level job if no one will give me a job!?!? Does anyone else see the contradictions here? Further to that point, if its truly and entry level job how can you expect me to have 3-5 years experience? That is not entry level! More contradictions! 

I find it mind boggling, frustrating, disheartening, and discouraging.  But something has to change right - eventually...?
