Entering back into the "REAL-WORLD"

Well it's been an arduous path transitioning to the "REAL-WORLD" and all nuances hidden in the expression "real-world". I have attempted to re-enter the corporate job market in what is now economic chaos. Depression or recession whatever this is that the Bush administration has ignored, it's now very real in my life and I certain even more real for those whom are even less fortunate than I. I have to say I do have hope given the presidential election outcome. It makes me grimace when I recall McCain's words that U.S. citizens were better off than they were 8 years ago.
