It's obvious what happens when government policies don't keep people from earning a living.

What you're saying about having more experience than others who are applying is not entirely true. I, for example, am a graphic design major, and when I graduate I'm going to be competing with people who have 20-30+ years experience in the field and who actually worked as art directors for major companies. I have no chance against a person with a ton more experience than me. It's a very competitive climate, and as a sound engineer he'd probably have more luck just working freelance with musicians rather than tying to be hired by a company.

We here in the US are under false impression then? We hear (and that is subjective) that after Mubarak stepped down the American backed (and armed) Egyptian Military carried on in his stead and nothing much changed. That protests in Egypt continue to this day. Now you come on and say this is all not true?

Since you live there could you show us maybe with some links that we are lied to about this state of affairs in Egypt. I much rather believe a citizen of that country as you claim to be(?) and would just humbly ask for more proof.

This is my rant, and many of you obviously will tell me how to conduct my life, tell me I am making horrible choices and that it is my fault that I am unhireable. You will declare to me that you know my situation more, that I should find a trade, that I should have more talents, be more accessible to the job market, find a certificate, get a degree, kill myself.
Well honestly this is my rant,the lack of Jobs in america, the big issue, the remaining issue. Go flip burgers you will say, well i just get through the interview, go do some other job, well they just turn me down for someone with more experience.
Welcome to the credential society! Jobs are becoming more difficult for average joes to become more accessible, Detroit, industrial city, easy job search right? Wrong, Unemployment is up an those who fell in the cracks of the void (after unemployment is over) are doom.
Welcome to the real world. Age 27, 5 years janitorial, Direct care worker (handicap) certified, 2 associate degrees, 2 years in assembly, industrial lines, 2 years grocery, 10 years experience as an audio engineer with 2 years professional intern
This is what I have become rapidly into, in a society that wants you to have (5 years experience on a machine press) or some Register nursing degree, or some other CDL hilo certified job
Everything is all mobilizing into education, which i am getting into (teaching) yes i know its a horrible job market, dont rub it in, at least i want to do something i like, mister accounting, ski lifting instructor.
Welcome to detroit
The fact is there are no jobs, at least in the midwest. Job markets are crap. Go do something stupid, there are plenty of jobs with massive lay offs, major pay cuts, outsourcing ect.
You cannot start a family getting paid 7.50 a hour. You need at least 10$.
All jobs no return in phone call or response. Internet search sites are (not all) a waste.
Don't even say start a home business, you dont know my living situation
It is a human and should be a human right to get a job, when you can't society gets piss. We americans (at least detroit, cause detroit is pissy enough) should uprise against these social constraints that are destroying america, THESE ARE REASONS WHY WE BECOME DOPE SLANGERS AND MURDERERS.

You people that are talking about how there are jobs everywhere really need to take into account where this person is talking about.
The OP is talking about Detroit, and if you think there are tons of jobs there, then you are nothing short of delusional and completely out of touch with reality.
