64. North eastern Pa
Edited on Sat Nov-20-04 02:07 AM by Sin
Ive been out of work for 4 years in the tech field
all the tech jobs dried up right after i got out of school for networking and continue to vanish.
How we get by is Low cost of living + My gf and I came into money a fair amount of money also we do the odd computer repair job
we wanted to get our own place but my parents let us stay here I think they kind of need it as much as we do I help around the house now we burn wood entirely in the winter to keep warm did it all my life but my parents are getting up there in age to split and stack it all.+ we put up the money to put a new roof on since there health care all started to go copay there paying for that themselves now.
and they have health Issues. I'm pretty much in perfect health
except for a Knee problem pops out allot was born like it.My Gf has type 1 diabetes both I and her don't have health insurance
no jobs offer it around here with out you working full time or a very large co pay now So thats were we are in life my moms a nurse so she is pretty set for work my dad has always been on shaky ground hes a welder there work goes from allot to layoffs basically

So yea its quite a weird situation theres probably thousands of story's like it. So any of you guys have computer work out there for a depressed comp geek :) had to throw that in there.
