How exactly has this down economy impacted you?

I used to copywrite for a living. It wasn't much, a content farm basically, but I could survive on it. The down economy meant I began to compete with people possessing master's degrees and doctorates for 3 bucks an article.

I don't have the credentials to match. Because these people couldn't hold their jobs, they put me out of my job. I laughed my ass off when I found out that most content farms were beginning to outsource to India because of the high English fluency rate and extremely low income requirements.

Guess if I'm not getting paid, no one is.

The good- we moved to Indiana near a favorite family member. The bad- my husband had to take a job where he was gone most of the time. The not really- my clothes still fit.

It's not some much the ecomony as the weather, my husband works for a branch of Honda and since all the mother natural things over seas it has cut his hours and work days for the past 6+ months and looks like it won't be until the new year that he is back to 5 day work weeks. STOP! Mother natural!

Please I have bills to pay.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
