So I almost cried reading that blog post. Andrew, I remember both you and I started around the same time and became friends after having lunch with Neil Ashe. You and I were the loudest ones there...and the ones that had the most opinions. I am happy to hear you are staying in the bay--lots of love from the girl you taught how to blog personally-- <3Neha

OMG--- I love it Collz. It looks great on you! Now you just need some bright pink streaks and it's perfect :) [p.s. I love pigtails and think this style could work well in that way if you want to put it up]. <3

I can totally relate to how you feel. It's like you do so well in the start of your career and are floundering after having so much experience. Are creative types like us destined for this dead end? I wish you luck in finding something Elisha. Enjoy the holiday, and try not to worry about it until Q1 of next year--that's my mom's advice, and she is a great adviser!

I am SO happy you A. Not only got a job but, B. Got an amazing one with a company that is of your caliber! I am a little sad we didn't get a chance to co-work, but I will try my hardest to visit you in SD [I've never been]. Dig your toes in the sand and get ready to enjoy life dear--you deserve it. Congrats my brown sista'!

Nope, I haven't. I am guessing I should...

Great advice, and that is exactly what I am doing. Being an account manager/community manager requires similar chops to production. Strong organization, written/verbal communication, and understanding of the consumer. I am trying to definitely capitalize on those aspects of my skill set, albeit there is always a learning curve when stepping out of your field. Thanks for the comment!

Wow, the response from you all really proves that I am not alone. There are a lot of great points raised, I will try to address them all:
*Sapna- Thank you, I hope we both find something awesome soon!
*Doctor_Mowinckel- I do feel quite fortunate to have worked the place that I have, but on that, I worked really hard to get there. It may sound crass, but I too could have taken the easier route and not worked hard my entire academic career. But I did, and that I why I ended up at such great places earlier on. I think what's tough is there being nothing there now, it's a void. I'll talk about "entitlement" when I get to Luke [below]. Also, thank you for the keepin' on motivation!
*EdGutman- Funemployment time? I think so.
*SouthBay_Mike- I think what we both can get from this is that we are not alone. We aren't losers or failures, the timing just isn't right. Don't let anyone make you feel less b/c of your economic condition--that shows how simplistic and mean they are. I wish you luck in finding something soon, Mike.
*Heidi_A- Hello there! I would recommend going to India in a heartbeat. I was there for a quarter of the year, I may suggest a shorter time however [I got really sick]. I think we both feel the same way, esp. since we are in the same field. It's good to hear from you, and know we share the same feeling of discontent and shaken beliefs of who [and where] we are supposed to be.
*Jeff_Putz-That's interesting. So you are one of the people that have "evolved" or taken on a new career to survive. It's a thought provoking perspective and I thank you for sharing it.
*Pazu16- First off, thank you for following me for so long! My CNET days were some of my happiest, and I really loved what I have done up to this point. Honestly, I think many of us who aren't settled down yet fear being in your situation. It's terrifying, especially when you feel as if you have done everything right. I do think what you are saying about starting companies is true. With project V01d, I am semi-doing that, and I perhaps would not have had the time to do so if I was employed full time in this period. I hope you find a dream job soon, just remember that you are lucky to be loved and have a wife and sweet children.
*Luke- You know, when I was writing this, I did think a lot about entitlement. It's true, our generation does have a sick sense of entitlement. What scares me is the people who are younger than me, those who have seldom visited a library and have written papers based on google results. They demand instant gratification, and I think my generation has some of that built in as well. It's funny that you mention working as whatever to pay the bills. I do think we all have a bit of chip on our shoulders--but I often say, and stick to this, that if the going gets even tougher I would not consider it beneath me to work at a Starbuck's or something like that. I've been working since I was 12 years old [family sandwich shop], and I saw what my parents did to get my brother through med school and me through college. Now it's our turn to support them and I will do whatever it takes to do so.

Re: I stream, Ustream, we all stream…

@shamey- Thanks!
@Anastasia- So, when I livestreamed, I kinda just went on with no agenda. I put on some music, and basically answered questions from people in the chat room. We talked about movies, music, comic books, places I've worked, new media and basic geekery--all topics that I know too much about! I think some people like to plan their live streams, I think going on a whim [as far as agenda] is a good way to start. You should try it ;)
