Sorry, but people in this country are "sufferrintg" even if not physically.

I had a Government job working in the National Marine Fisheries Service, as a commercial fishery and research fishery observer. Thanks to the War in Iraq, on more than one occasion funding for various "non-essential government agencies" (such as NMFS) has been re-allocated to the millitary for the War in Iraq. As a result, all of the research projects I had been working for lost all of their funding, and a number of observers were laid off due lack to funding.

So I lost year round work, and have been working multiple part time jobs since 2005 trying to make ends meet.

I get to see a lot of my former collegues now when I am applying for the few positions that become availible in our field.[/b]
I know where you can get a job paying about $50K. Requires a 13 week training course in Georgia followed by up to 6 months of specialized training at one of several places around the country. After that, you might be selected to attend another short, super specialized course, or just get right to work. Hours aren't too bad, free membership to the gym, free food, housing, and travel. I mean really, you'll have that year round work you seek so much.
