Job Hunt 2008: So is it time to seriously look at leaving Bellingham?

[kevyn]

I can't seem to find work here. I'm becoming a burden on my friends, family, and the state.

I like Bellingham. I have great friends here, a community that cares about me, and a lifestyle that suits me. I don't want to leave, unless it's to head farther north. But barring that, I'm beginning to wonder if this isn't the Universe's way of saying, "Time to pull up stakes again."

Any thoughts on where you might go?

<tantrum> NO! Because I don't want to leave. :( </tantrum>

I really don't want to do this again right now. I am fighting tooth an nail not to.

If I had my druthers, you know me, I'd head north into Canada.

But that would require a job prospect up there or a Canadian husband. I have neither.

Maybe you can work under the table or something.

The problem is finding under the table work that I can do. With the worsening arthritis in my knees and feet, I can't do anything that requires a lot of standing and walking.

I don't even know where to look.
