I learned the hardway that any job isn't just given to you. It took 11 months after graduating to land a job just in landscaping/portering. It's like I paid thousands of dollars and am continuing to do so to just do this. But it is a job, regardless, and all it takes is Just one person/company to reach out.

Don't give up lil, we can start a club : The people that people don't want to hire 
IT folks: I am looking at mySQL again after a loong break, and I am notoriously bad at figuring out relationships, can I have some advice? I am just messing around with mySQL and C# and what I am doing at the moment is making a system similar to what I used at work, so the idea is this:
For now I want my system to use a machine ID to display info about the machine and it's contact persons
I have the tables Contact, Machine Ownership and ship to party (which is a stupid name, but what I am used to calling address info after that job)
my primary keys are a bit wrong at the moment, and that is what I want help fixing.
For person and machine I have ID and SN
For the ownership i currently have company ID and machine SN
--- but then I cannot have for instance a company + machine with several contacts
(as I would end up with two or more instances of ie company ID 1, machine ID 2 to get two different contacts, so it is backwards....
what is the best way to link my info?

Yes, and I've been looking for several years now (especially this year). I see prayer more as talking to God. He provides tangible blessings too, sure (I would like to believe that) but he's not some cosmic genie. He does what He wants, when He wants. I don't believe on Jesus because Pragmatism, otherwise I would've walked away long ago. I believe on Jesus and follow Him because He's the Way, the Truth and the Life, and life doesn't make sense without Him. But it's very easy for me to get frustrated/angry/disappointed with God at times because of circumstances and a lack of tangible answers to prayers. And even with other Christians (like those who get jobs at the drop of a hat). But I can't let the seed of bitterness grow in me, that would bring me to ruin. Thanks, brother.

I get pretty ticked when people have been working full time their whole lives never lost a job and and then act like the ones with the health issues are being lazy or making excuses turn around and accuse us - I think they dont know what its like and also they become arroogant and ungrateful like "oh im so tired" comments around us who would love to be able to say that to have a job or I worked 60 hours this week or extra time.

Sadly, there will always be people like that. I had a friend who had been job hunting for many months, we would always check up on him (I was friends with his wife) cause he had a family to feed. By the time he got a job, we were so happy until he got fired the next week because he's had panic attacks that his co-workers had to get him to ER. It's never easy. We lost contact and I don't know how they're coping.
There's another side of the story too. Some people started working full time at a young age. Driven, not by their own ambitions but so their family could eat. Getting sick just enough for their workplaces to cover the expenses. Knowing that in every failure, sibling's education or just family's dinner is at risk. Every wrong move affects the people they love.
My point is, no one really has it perfectly. We all face the same trials. Dwelling on the unchanging circumstances doesn't do us any good. Yeah we make mistakes and fail, but the story doesn't really end there, does it?
At the end of the day, we'll just have to remember what matters the most. There's an eternity waiting for us in heaven, what's a hundred more years of suffering. I'd rather not have that though lol. But you get the point.

wow perspective good points youre right nobody has it easy and yup heaven , God is everything its totally worth it. just to clarify im not against full time workers and yup many fight to put food on the table i realise that the point i was making was those who judge unemployed ppl with health issues
The Isrealites roamed the desert for 40 years before God allowed them to enter the promised land. I've heard that if they took a direct route it would have only taken them about 2 months. David spent a long time in the wilderness too hunted by his enemies before he became a king. It's all about God's timing.
