Life is mysterious thing. I am still learning to live. Sometimes i am successful, but sometimes not. it is the same as everything in this wold - after high job comes deep landing. The same happening to me right now. 12 years ago i was yang student in university. I studied at the day time and tried to earn some cash, so i started to work as security guard mostly at nights. 3 years it continued like the same until i finished university, got bachelor degree and started to study to get master degree. Also i was happy because i found engineer job. Life seemed to go up, and i was happy with it. Until last year, when economical crisis hit my country and whole world. Prices going up, but wage doesn't change and it is getting too hard to survive. last two days i have spent to rethink possibility to find second job, but the only one which i could do without interrupting my engineer position is security guard job i think. So it is like going back to what and when i started my career. Somebody maybe will say - hey man, just find another better payed job, but i can assure you that it is almost impossible now. unemployment is 20% now and nobody building anything now, so mineral deposits engineers like me don't have much job to do. Will see if something will change soon.

I understand as I am in kind of similar situation. I want a second job that will not hinder my main job as a secretary in a company. But the time that I can allocate for that just weekends. Now how many jobs are in the weekend? So, I am trying to find one now.

Yeah, it's bad all over, but it's even worse for the people who don't have jobs. I'm just glad I still have mine.

Maybe, but from the other hand if people dont have real job and live only from money what government gave, they dont have so much to loose. I have job, appartaments, land, car and what most important - my family and my health to loose if situation will not get better. Also if something will went wrong with me my childrens will be forced to pay my bills and so on. Its like nightmare neverending story.

i am not afraid of challenges and new stuff, just life seems too unpredictable now. I can not even think of any industry in my country which have long term perspective.
