You know, that's pretty much here, too. My husband has been trying to
find
work for a long time. Problem, he's too qualified for lower level
positions. Even when he applies for them, they move his application and
interview him for mgmt positions when available. Then they hire they
young
ones a few years out of business school.
So I'm resigned to being the breadwinner forever.
