From 10k a Month to Working for Minimum Wage

16 07 2008

Unfortunately, that’s the sad reality of my current situation, as well as countless others who lost their jobs due to the mortgage debacle.

I’ve sent out about 200 resumes in the past 6 months and was pretty much offered 2 jobs in industries that I was not interested. Besides, both jobs had starting salaries of $30k a year, too low to support a couple in Los Angeles…with a baby due this fall.

I can’t seem to get an interview for a good company in an industry that I am interested in.

So, I took a part time job at an internet company making minimum wage, plus commissions. With commissions, I’ve been averaging about $11/hour, due to the 6 month old leads that we’re calling.
I am hanging on by a thread.

More income is needed, so the search is still on for another good part time job in addition to this one.
