So now since the holiday season is here, it is not that we should sit back and relax during this month. I mean us- the unemployed, underemployed, part-time employed and the like should be preparing for to look for a job or be preparing for what to do for the future. Although there is a perception out there that since it is holiday season, the hiring managers are not looking for people but this can be the perfect time to sharpen your skills and aggressively look for the jobs.
But for those of you who are recently laid off or just plain discouraged to look for a job, you can always think about what you plan to do to support yourself or your family. Most of the people that I have read about are going back to school. But you know what it is really hard now to support yourself and equally harder now to go to school since schools are becoming more expensive and out of reach for lower income people. Even if you have the desire to learn and educate yourself, the harsh reality of financing your education comes as a big hurdle. Just imagine for a minute that if you get financial aid that is your education is paid for but still your going to school, transportation, groceries, health insurance has still to be covered. So there is always an opportunity cost of either going back to school or just survive, especially if you are living in high living cost states of the Northeast.
