Or, to put it bluntly, damn, damn, and goddamn.
Looking at the meager job listings I've got in front of me, what do I see?
Either postings for people who are still active students, or postings for people with several years' experience in the field. Nothing for someone who's trying to start from ground zero.
And the encouraging advice from the home front? "Why are you depressed? You should be motivated!"
Times like this, I don't know whether to be relieved or disappointed that I don't have a brick handy to pound against my skull.

What do they expect, for you to be cheerful 24-7 throughout this? (Although that does present with some ideas for terrifying your family members...)
