How many have a bad job, want to switch careers or are unemployed?

I graduated back in May after managing to get my Film BFA in three years. 8 months later...still nothing. Job searching every single day online and in person becomes unbelievably tiresome. Back home here in Tennessee the film market is obviously meager, and when there actually is stuff going on it's so close knit that you have absolutely no chance of getting in.

And pounding the pavement nowadays will only get you either A: thrown out by security or B: your resume immediately going into the trash. Both of these are not fun. At all.

If you take a lower job that looks bad to potential employers, but if you're unemployed that also looks bad! This isn't even mentioning all of the endless amounts of qualifications nowadays. Ugh.

So I've been applying for anything within reason (and some not) all over the place and still have no responses. I think I've pulled all my hair out. Not to mention that all my student loans going into repayment.

The fun never ends. ;)

Okay, end rant. I just had to get this out somewhere before I exploded. Does anybody else have similar situations either being unemployed or stuck in a job they hate?
