Time for a Middle-Class Awakening!

I am in my late thirties, and still searching for that perfect job. Been on the job hunt for about five months now. After countless hours on job sites, an occasional career fair, and once-in-awhile a “networking” party, I’ve come up with nothing memorable or promising, and it’s begining to get me down.

I’m joining the site for a sense of camaraderie in what is otherwise a very solitary process. As a professional teaching university sociology courses, I’m used to looking at the plight of the working-class or the lower-class unskilled person and rallying students behind their stories of struggle and plight, but very rarely had the nerve to take a look at my own…which is equally compelling. It’s time for a middle-class awakening, beginning with my own. Thanks for this, and am glad to join!
