August 2, 2012 at 2:54 PM   I got part of a programming degree before the bottom fell out of the tech industry and all of an AS in electrical design that cost me $60k in debt. I got laid off 4 months ago. Because I refused to work 60+ hour weeks, I can't get my old managers to call me back. As a 5-year industry veteran with no industry references, I can't get hiring managers to call me back. I've gone bankrupt to escape credit cards, but student loans are for life. I have an ER bill I can't pay, an untreated skin condition I can't see anyone about, wisdom teeth coming in sideways I can't get corrected, and asthma I treat with coffee to save the inhaler for emergencies. I live on unemployment in two spare bedrooms in my mother's double-wide. I'm wiring books in the hopes of one day living on a skill I possess again. And, if I'm very lucky I'll be able to get a job in the fall working on a janitor crew a friend manages.
