Jobs

Husband came home yesterday and said, "I think you may need to look into finding a part-times job to hold us over after I get fired."

Oh. Great.

He's just got too much to do at work. So much, that details get overlooked. Then they come back and bite him in the a**. He told me that his supervisors (who work in a different state) ask him, "So what is it you do all day?" (Like like being a housewife, no?)

He honestly thinks he's going to get fired in the next few months. And he doesn't have his degree yet!! He's like 3 credit hours away from being done. Almost 2 years ago, he signed up for online courses. And just didn't finish them. He got busy, and I honestly forgot. And here we are, two years later, still without a BA.

For the first few years of our marriage, he was working for a pretty successful complany doing client relations. They had a position open up in the headquarters that he was perfect for. But because he didn't have his degree, they couldn't hire him. I've mentioned this more than a few times -- that he needs to finish those last 3 flippin' hours and send them his resume.

He thinks that the opportunity is long lost. But the people there loved him and I highly doubt that they have forgotten him. But the longer he waits, the more likely that is.

It is so frustrating. He's freaking out about losing his job, but hasn't done anything to secure a further future.

He's a great man. Instensely loyal. A marvelous teacher. Highly intelligent. But he's lazy and has a low self-esteem. (Which you would never guess about him.) He feels like he has no talent -- no marketable skills. He'a great teacher, but doesn't want to teach high school the rest of his life. He might enjoy teaching college more, but that would take more schooling which he's obviously not a fan of.

It's just so frustrating.
