I've been looking for a job for the past seven months. I NEED A JOB. But the last places I've worked have been retail and fast food, which have schedules that are all over the place, and are hideous work environments.

I had a very encouraging interview with a bank, but when I called them back, they said my application wasn't selected. I'm so tired of this. I've had interview after interview, and I keep getting my hopes up, just to have them shot down. I can't bear the thought of going back to a place like where I've worked before, but I don't know what else to do.

I feel so utterly useless. My dad is retiring in a few months, and my family needs financial help. I need money because I'm going to school in the fall, and I'm trying to get a car. My family tells me to just keep looking, and I do, but I don't know where to go or what to do. Right now I just want to crawl into a hole and die. I feel worthless without a job, but I feel miserable if it's a job I hate. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
