  - OP - I know, but I just am so unhappy in my current field. Started looking for something new a year ago, then economy tanked and I'm stuck for the time being. I just thought I would have achieved more by now. Feel like such a failure.

        Ouch. Actually a lot of people hate being a lawyer. At least you didn't go that route. But of course the BOSS'S kid would have an interview, so it's no real reflection on you personally.

        OP - True, thanks. I'm just frustrated that I can't even get interviews. Feel like this job is a stain on my resume.

Live Below My Means

I live well below my means. It feels good and I don't have to worry if I get laid off or can never work again.
