Husband quit his previous job & took the summer off to work on some personal projects / reset for awhile. For various reasons he wasn't able to start job searching until the middle of November, just in time for Thanksgiving, and now the job market is shutting down for the December holidays. He's starting to get super discouraged that he can't find any positions (first time he's really struggled to find something quickly). I'm trying to keep his spirits up but the longer it goes the more discouraged he gets. : / Not really a financial issue but it really goes to show how much the whole "your worth is your job" mindset our society has affects people.
