There's a slim chance congress will pass an extension.

There's an argument for refusing anything that pays less than unemployment but I don't think that is anywhere a majority. Yes I have known people that are forced to do that and I am not judging. But I think most people are more like the people in the story. Shame in not being able to live up to your potential is probably a powerful driving factor. In another story they made the point that you might have to pay to move forward. Training for a new career cost money. Moving to another state or getting to the interview because there is nothing where you live. And so on. In the early 2000's I had to cross train and I was very lucky to be able to do it. While I was doing it I was underemployed. I think that option are scarce too. And I don't mind taking a lower paying job to get ahead. The key is it needs to "get you ahead".
