My sister has a difficult life because she doesn't have a job. As her sister. I have to feed her including her baby. She has been looking for a job but haven't found one. I feel so pity of her. I hope one day she might find a job. It's really difficult to look for a job without earning a degree. How about you? what educational attainment you've finished?

Yea its really difficult to live life without a job because not having a job means you will have to rely upon other which may be against your self respect... You must have a job to satisfactorly live your life. I am still a student persuing my bachelors degree in electronics and communication engineering, and this is my final year.. I hope i get a good job after completing my degree

are you saying your sister didn't finish any course. at least she got some years in high school or college even. if she is willing and convinced to help herself, she should do anything to learn. she can get a vocational course. or even going to a small business orientation/training so she can at least start her own business. you can't help her all her life. she should be helping herself. much more now that she has her baby. you have to teach her how to help herself.

schooling doesnt always mean you will get a job where i live, but it just depends on the type of job you want.

Of course it will be very difficult, if life without a job. It would be very difficult to meet daily needs. No work, means no money. And this means it will be trouble.

Life without a job can be challenging if not difficult. The most difficult part is the human element; we generally wait for someone else to direct us instead of thinking for ourselves. No one has to be jobless, it is a choice. When there is no hired positions available, one should make his or her own job. It could be simple as recycling; working online; farming; fishing; hunting; and a laundry list of things that use to be commonplace in our country. You simply have to earn your own way by being creative and resourceful. I will never be as easy as having someone else to work for but the rewards will be much greater. Self-sufficiency and also minimize the fear felt during a downturned economy. If you just have to have the security of working for someone else, be willing to take and do the jobs that no one else wants. Go back to school (there is lots of money out there if you search hard enough) and retrain for something you'd be more satisfied doing. Most importantly, keep your options open because you'll never know when a great opportunity is going to come your way; determination, persistence, and disciplined routine will be your life preserver.

Life without a job is like life without money. It is impossible to live comfortably without earning money. The thought of living without job conjures up images of homeless people in rags pushing their junk filled shopping carts around the dirty centers of the cities, sleeping under bridges and begging for food.

even a degree is not a guarantee that you'll land a good job. you're sister must be having a harder time looking for a job having no degree to start with. she will have to try to apply for jobs that do not require a lower educational attainment. she can try finishing her schooling (with financial help from family perhaps?) and get a better chance at her chosen career in the long run. in the meantime, she can beef up her resume by doing volunteer work even just for experience and personal growth. she can also ask around within your network; do you have friends or relatives that have small businesses needing employees? does your sister have hobbies or talents that she can use to generate income (cooking, handicraft, design, painting, etc)?

This is just the truth of life without a job.Without a job,you have no income to spend on daily life.The most important,you will feel lonely in daily life,you will find that there is nothing to do.

I feel sorry for you but I hope your sister will get a job soon, especially now she has a baby to feed. It is really difficult to live without a job and the longer we let that happen, the more difficult out lives become. Good luck to you and have a nice day!

Without a job and financial support it is very difficult to get on anywhere in this word.Wealthy people can get on without a job.Money is very important for every one.Good qualification fetches good jobs and with experience we can earn more.Apart from education I feel one should be lucky in life.Don't worry.god will help you to overcome all your difficulties. Believe Him.As for me I am a double graduate and retired and well settled.

All is not a degree to fetch you all job. Degree makes it easier. After all your sister is of age, having a baby is not a small woman any longer. There were three graduates who went to a wealthy man to teach them how to become as rich as the wealthy man. The man told them; "my sons, you are already rich men". That means once you have the idea, jobs abound; you can start from petty trading to a big time middleperson. One can begin from running errands to manager. It depends on dedication, seriousness and relentless efforts. SamShima.

I can definitely relate to that. Being jobless, I mean. Even if I am still single, I still couldn't stand on my own two feet when it comes to financial matters.

Not having a job is not about having low educational attainment but not wanting a job bad enough to try... Online jobs caters to high school students...

Hi,tess-quinain. It is surely difficult to find a satisfactory job when the globe is in recession .Many people with PHD are unemployed ,let people without a degree alone . Even though the higer degree you have ,the bigger chance you will get to a high-paid job .This is invarible.And this is the reason why i am working hard to get a master degree .There is an exception beyond commonsense .Setting up one's own enterprise is not bad .But it needs creativity and courage.Good luck with your sister !

I definitely agree to that. I currently don't have a job right now, and its really difficult financially. Especially when you have a family already, that would make everything difficult. Good thing, I am single but I am trying my best to have a job. I am trying some online jobs too so that I can atleast have an income via online. And I have a little business of my own too. Where I get my income also.

i think you should try her to get a job,maybe it's hard but one day your sister will get the job,and yeah it's hard to give someone a life when we're worked hard and then the someone that lived with you cant get any jobs or whatever and they take your money for their life,it's annoyed for me but just help her to find a job because there's no one want to lived in other house for a long time i think
