"How can I get experience without working?"

That's the question I'm always asking. Everyone wants experience, but no one's willing to give it. It's a backwards-ass way of hiring, but unfortunately it seems to be the standard. T_T

eets a catch 22.

Good question, I have always asked myself this question when reading ads for jobs when they say must be 18 years old with hs diploma and have this many years experience. I mean how does one get experience in a job when one you have to have been eighteen and you must have worked in this field before but yet you have to be eighteen? I understand the situation to well. Been there many times myself. Just keep trying you have the skills and talents one day someone will take notice and you will have yer dream job. The worst you can do right now is just give up. Do you pray or believe in this kind of thing? If ya do ya might give it a try and see how it goes. I have seen some awesome things take place in the past when one has done this.

There is a sad fact right now, in most places teaching jobs are hard to come by because one schools are closing left and right and two those teachers who were laid off are also applying for any new openings that come up thus yer type of situation. It is just a bad time for people with yer chosen path right now.

Chin up friend just hang in there it is bound to get better. hum, just a thought you seem to have big heart for animals, if teaching does not pan out you could always go back to school if possible and get a degree that gets you a job working in some capacity with critters.

Good luck in whatever you choose, may it work out for you soon. You will be ok just give it time.

May you and those you love and care about be safe always. May you all have most excellent day!
