Sometimes - Life Throws You a Curve Ball!

Such is life for me right now. I've been unemployed since early August 2024 and have been struggling to find work. I have been looking for work in the world of 3D design, 3D printing, computer programming, technical support, and even teaching and training type work. But, nothing! I have also applied to much more simplistic jobs - like house cleaning, restaurant server, driving, even a job for a company that gets people out of timeshares. However - still nothing!

I even just applied to a job at Lowe's HW store near me, had an interview a couple days ago & was just rejected today (11/21/2024) - probably because they found me Overqualified.

And, now things are dire for me! Because, at this point - I have rent coming up (on 12/2/24 for $1250), auto insurance(on 12/4/24 for $140), cell phone bill (on 12/8/24 for $97) - and more. Yet, I don't have the money for hardly any of it. Part of the reason, my last job - I was hired as an independent contractor - and, as such - I was NOT able to get unemployment. Which is a big part of why my situation has gotten so bad.

As many of you know - my true passion in life is 3D Design and 3D Printing. Yet, I have not even started up my 3D Printer in over 4 months - as all my efforts have been applied to my struggle to find work.

Therefore, that is why I am reaching out to my friends network to help me out!
