I gotta vent ... I just can't take it anymore

Bush really freaking ( I want so say the other F word ) sucks ... I don't know who else to put the blame on everything that has occured in this country but Bush has really got to go as of January 20 , 2005 . What I have to vent about is the current job situation here in the USA . There has to be something out there for me ... Where did all the jobs go ? I just returned back to the States after living overseas for 3 years and I knew that the number of unemployed was high but I did not realize how hard it was just to earn a decent wage . I am only 24 years old . I can do so many things from webdesigning ,dealing with computers , political issues , to composing music , I am very organized and detailed , heck I even lift 100 pounds if I had to ... I am tired of being told that I am " overqualified " . Was does that mean ? I am qualified to do the job but since I have never worked " professionally " at the job , you don't want to hire me because you are afraid I might take " YOUR job Mr. Employer " . One place ( UPS ) actually told me that they did not want to hire me considering my looks - they said I look too petite and cutesy and they did not want to take a risk in hiring me because they think I would complain . Whatever ... and then they wonder why they constantly have to look for employees . I am about to lose it . Its gotten so hard to sleep at night . I am one of the DU Nightowls btw . And when I do sleep I hate waking up because I feel like crap . My mom told me I am worrying too much and she might be right . But , am I wrong for wanting a job ? Am I wrong for wanting to do my part and constribute to society . Yeah I currently went back to school to finish up my Political Science degree but I still need money ( unfortunately in this capitalist society ) to survive . I can only live off of my much much saved savings for so long ... Like I said there has got to be something else out there for me . I do not qualify for unemployment considering the last time I worked was in 2000 before I left for Europe .

Like I said , I am back in college - I want to go back to school and do music . I want to learn as much as possible and I want to continue my music career . But to support the music part I need a job . Even if I was not doing the music job , I would still need a job . And yeah I wish that there was not a capitalist community in this world . I did not realize the number of of people my age here in NC that are going through the same thing that I am going through . I feel like putting together some kind of organization . Bush fucking sucks ! I swear to God I can not wait until that bastard is thrown out of office in 2 months . The Presidential Election is less than 2 months away on November 2 . I can not wait to see his damn face when he has to concede defeat . And they can pull that Florida fiasco if they want to , all hell is going to break lose . People need jobs damn it ! All the jobs are being sent over damn seas . What the heck are we supposed to do here in America . ( I am sorry but I have to vent I have been holding it in for so long ... ) I can only live off of my savings for so long . I don't qualify for welfare , I don't qualify for un-employment . So I am a qualified young adult with a resume and I still can not find a damn job . I was born and raised in this country . My ancestors fought for this country . I have lived by the US Constitution , but yet I am not able to get anything . Tuition costs at the colleges and universities are rising . And therefore you have people having to leave school like I did and then they are not able to qualify for any help ... It freaking sucks . To me its like they are trying to make everybody have to join up to the military . My next options are : stripping , Peace Corp or the Military and I don't want to do any of them . So this is what I have been going through ... Every night I pray to God that God continues to watch over me because I am about to lose my sanity ... Please keep me in your thoughts ... I love you all everyone in the DU ... Please understand if I am stressed out . Thanks for reading this long passage but I had to vent ...
