Hello,
I am in need of help. I worked for 20 years, never missing anytime except when my parents passed away or had vacation time to work on my house. I became unemployed in July of 2006 after working for a company that closed it doors in my location. I appealed to them to sign up with the government to agree to the job loss situation where the benefits would be extended but to no avail. I have found that here noone cares about job experience anymore, its all about the piece of paper (either a degree or certification). Here is the kicker though, due to my job being closed for good and thats why I became unemployed, I was able to go back to school for my MCSE certification. The problem with it is that its conflicting with work schedules so my school is keeping me from getting hired anywhere. What I need help with is living expenses while in school so I could get my certification and thus be able to get that good job. We have stayed pretty close on out bills to this point but have fallen behind slightly now. Any assistance would ne most appreciated. Thank you for your help in advance.
