Boy, do I agree with you about the outsourcing of jobs. It's like the business people in the country went mad en masse. Do you get unemployment? Can you start something from home like computer work or lawn work. Or even house work? I used to clean houses for people, waiting for a steady job. I also liked waitressing. You might try volunteering part time and looking for a job the rest of the time. Volunteering looks good on your resume. I am unable to do most anything right now, so I understand that house cleaners and yard workers make a fair amount of money! You must know something about resumes by now, so maybe you could earn money by writing them for other people. Caring about You ~ billieJ
