I don’t know where you are. But with that skillset, recruiters should be throwing jobs at you in most major American cities. I know for a fact that recruiters in Atlanta would be salivating at the chance to placd you. As I said before, I am in my mid 40s.


“He has all those skills but doesn’t have a job? Must be something wrong with him. I know several people his age and they all have jobs.”
