Fluency in three languages, experience in niche software, 3rd shift - for not enough to pay monthly expenses? I don't understand it either. I'm starting to feel bad about my own tourism when I see what is happening where I live. People moving back in with their parents, divorced couples continue to live together because they can't afford to live apart.

I am also depressed looking at listings, partially because I am so burnt out on my field. I have been looking at part time jobs outside my professional area of expertise, but it's so discouraging. One wanted written reference letters, a drug test, background check, etc - for a ten hour a week minimum wage job! No weekends off!
