Unfortunately, in this continued economic recession there is little room for second chances. Saying I've been fired in an interview is an immediate way to disqualify myself. In a normal economy that wouldn't be so but today, there are so many unemployed people with my same skill set or better that they can easily find somebody with a solid work history.

I cannot forgive myself, no matter how hard I try, because every day I still have to live with the long term consequences of what I did. I may never completely recover from it.
