i enjoyed reading this as well but..am 56 and out of the postal service on disability after 25 years with no marketable skills…what can i do? i am not able to do an 8-5, 40 hour a week job..unless it is from home..I so want to get off disability and provide for myself again. I can't afford those online schools and am afraid to get their loans.

Hey Ben,

I appreciate your concern and wish you the best of luck, as I found quite a bit of similar roadblocks in my search. First I must ask, are you saying this because that is what job requirements state on the sites for the companies you are looking at? Or, are you getting rejection notices stating this? I only ask for future understanding of these matters. But in reality my best suggestion is to apply regardless. Most companies have preset posting requirements that HR has to follow, so you might apply having already graduated college or just currently are not attending and still get a call back. Do not let this thought be a discouraging factor in your endeavors. Really, you just have to think creatively to get noticed. All companies want great employees. Show them that's who you are and that you deserve this job regardless of your college status.

Best of luck in all your endeavors,
Jeff

While I agree Internships are great way of getting your way into the door. How would you suggest getting one in a field that you like and a company you like but they refuse the help because you are not currently enrolled at a college and they say no because of that

Brian,

I thank you for these humbling words. I'm glad you enjoy what you've read as it gives me hope that others are able to see things in the light of optimism such as myself and the. I'm glad you realize that opportunity to market yourself presents itself everywhere and that as long as you're able to use it to the best of your ability you should be proud of what you're doing.

Thanks once and again and always remember it's all about innovation, making your own fun and having a great time, while working hard.

Jeffrey you have a knack for keeping this topic positive which I truly enjoy. So many people become overwhelmed and sink into this hole I call "Apathetic Way". Instead of looking at all the free time they now have that they could be putting to good use helping their community, connecting with old friends, marketing themselves online, or getting involved in the internships programs that so many businesses love they become Apathetic and desire pity because they feel the deck is stacked against them.

The definition of a recession is "The reallocation of funds" Thus the big dogs who had money are now tight and losing ground in most cases and people with insight are leveraging new markets like social media to make the new fortunes.

People should be excited and be looking for those opportunities right now to get the experience so they can be on the leading edge when the recession begins to turn. Investing your time into marketing yourself or building the foundations online to teach the bulk of people how to bring themselves into this new digital age will pay dividends it is true.

You rock Jeff! Have a wonderful day!
