I was homeless as a youth too. I too put myself through college and earned a Masters Degree. Unfortunately, that didn't buy me anything when it came time to obtain a job. I have found applying useless. I then tried holding a sign "Have Master's Degree-Need Job" only to find myself harassed by police. After failed small business, and After selling anything of value, I now survive on food stamps and live in an abandon house. It would be much more impressive to me if yours said-I was homeless and now have a job where I own my own home. Do you have a bunch of school debt now?

I'm among the uncounted unemployed and have given up. I'll get food stamps for the next 22 years until I get social security retirement-if i don't go crazy first and get disability.

I'm now in a rural are without a car, so that makes things worse. I did apply multiple times to community colleges to teach but was unable to get work. I did have a little money and rented a car one day to go to an interview-but did not get the job:( and no longer have funds to rent a car to go to interviews. My mom is disabled but doesn't collect-and can't help with anything other than listening-I have no father.

Thanks!

Both! and now I have no capital to job hunt anymore. Faxing, haircuts, dental work, transport to-and-from interview-all takes money I don't have to put out anymore.
