Shame and Career I am feeling a lot of shame and weariness over my job situation in the past few days. I pray and pray and pray and it just feels like God is not listening. I used to pray for a job, now I pray to be useful to God today.

All those years of education, all those years of jockeying myself into positon and nothing. The best job I have found in CT so far is substitute teaching. I am not a teacher. I was never trained as a teacher. I hate it. I hate larger groups of children. Sometimes I even hate myself.

A friend from The Program suggested that I try food service. Food service is what I did in college. Now I have a college degree and three years of graduate school and the best I can do is food service. Meanwhile, it seems like all these people around me are getting good jobs. What am I doing wrong?  ¶ 11/09/2005 07:15:00 AM
