"Sure, your son can probably get a job at Taco Bell or whatever"

it's worse than the media says. I've applied for every available position at every fast food place within reasonable distance from my mom's home. None are hiring, they tell me they are getting several applications a day, so even if a job opens up there's like a .02 chance of me being picked.

now that's motivation!
I'm also applying like everywhere else but like the fast food places, they're "fully staffed" and wont be hiring anytime soon, can't even tell me when they might be so i know when to re-try.

I had lost ALL motivation, emotionally.... i was still trying but without hope, no interviews for months. FINALLY, yesterday I had an interview at a place I actually like and I'm really excited and hopeful, but I don't know how many other competitors I have for this actual position, which I'm sure pays no more than 9.00/hour max. It's a retail store.

Originial Poster- I'm sorry I was mean earlier, I was already having a bad morning, and I'm so so sorry I took it out on you, as if my anger towards my mother was pushed onto you. I really do apologize. You really did NOT deserve it, I should have worded things better.
