That CBT course sounds just like what I could use. I am supposed to start therapy with a new counselor and I think she is CBT trained....shyness and social anxiety is definitely something I want to work on in the therapy. Maybe she will have techniques for learning to be assertive and managing the anxiety I feel in situations like this.

I agree that some jobs are not worth it, even in this economy. I had had the job for just over 2 months, and was also unemployed and desperately wanting a job prior to that. Considering that I wasn't making much, was really stressed out, and that I am going back to school and trying to work on skills to help with my career in the future and my job schedule was making it hard to do all of those things, I don't think it was worth it. I am fortunate that I am able to make that choice, and I don't take that for granted at all.
