Thanks for sharing your experience. I believe our failing economy has made the demand for work very high. Unfortunately, with job scarcity comes greater need for employers to be picky and choose the very best. With that being said, people in our situation will often end up left out or having a harder struggle to stay afloat. It is a vicious cycle of not having enough skills and experience to get a job and not having a job to develop skills and experience. I agree that minimum wage isn't enough anymore. I wish you good luck.
