The messed up thing is that when I got desperate and was willing to take just about anything for a paycheck no one would hire me. They would look at what I had been making previously and my job skills and often told me that I was over qualified. Among those who turned me down were Police depts. and Security jobs. I was like WTF! It all worked out for the best though.

I know the feeling...man do I ever know the feeling. I have had shit jobs because of the same thing...just settling for what came around cause I was "overqualified". People saw that I had a Masters in a place when it's rare to have a Bachelors, and they passed on me. It sucks. They assume I want a very high level of pay, when I don't.
This is just another reason why I want to move.
