Online job hunting
Did my semi-weekly sweep of the government job sites. Nearby cities, counties, the state job board, even the usajobs.gov site. Nada. Couldn't find a thing that I am remotely qualified for.
The one thing I have learned through all this job hunting is not to waste my time applying for government jobs unless I meet at least some of the qualifications. Trying to emphasize similarities between what they are asking for and work I have actually done never gets me interviews.
A friend sent me a job posting paying $27,000 to work as a housing counselor. I think at this point, I would rather work as a paralegal. If I have to take a non-attorney job, I would rather that it pay a decent wage. I know that most Americans would love a job paying $27K, but not those with $110,000 in student loan debt!

If you want to shoot me an email (fivetomatoes at gmail dot com) I can let you know of a couple government openings. I work for a municipality in WI and have noticed other cities aren't very good at advertising in places that are easy to find.
