My entire name is muslim/arabic name. I'm not from anywhere else neither were my parents or theirs, fully American. But my parents became muslim and gave me this name at birth.

I'm not muslim myself. But I only keep the name because I don't feel like going through the hassle of changing my name on all of my legal documents, bank accounts, and online accounts already with it.

I've applied to so many jobs in the past and in recent months that I have skills for and demonstrated it and I've applied to lesser jobs, but none seems to call me back or even reach out.

So I'm just wondering and trying to find the best approach.

It might shock you which famous person quoted this.

But I personally believe it’s very true. It’s always a lot easier to get up in the morning when I know I have something I look forward to doing.

I mean, do you really like your job?

Just been offered a job in this city with a similar salary and moving allocation as well as same benefits package as

but am currently in this one after 10 years of living here with a wife and house.

Cost of living is slightly lower in the top one, weather significantly drier but colder in the bottom.

What would you choose?

“It’s not how much money you earn that matters, it’s what you do with your earnings that matters.”

Surely I am not the only one. I am now approaching 8 months being unable to secure another job in my industry. I had an interview scheduled recently, just to be canceled by the employer due to hiring freezes at the company. I am growing more hopeless.

Underemployment is when you have a degree or are highly skilled, yet you are stuck working low-end, menial, or entry jobs that are well below your skills or capabilities. Examples being a surgeon having to pick up a job as a convenience store clerk because he cannot get a job in his field. Or a well renound software engineer having to stock shelves at the grocery store. Or a nurse flipping burgers at a fast food joint.

Unemployment is obvious. You just don't have a job, period.

What kind of job is it?

Or still attending?

What's your usual activity when you work the night shift?
