It's rough. Many people who I work with, who have Master's degrees have been stuck in entry-level positions for years and cannot find anything out there.
They do feel fortunate to have a job though.
That is what I tell myself too when I am having a bad day.
I also think this is why employers throw so many things onto one employee too........they know that if he/she cracks and leaves, they can ALWAYS find a replacement in this economy.
It is very scary to me too that in social work, a field traditionally always thought to be hiring, there are no jobs to be had.
