Jacqueline,

Looking for a job in this economy is pretty rough, especially when you’ve got to worry about studying for school as well. Remember that the job you get now isn’t going to be the job you’ll have forever. You’re working toward a better future, and it’s going to take time and effort, but the reward will be worth it! Good luck!
