What is Underemployment?
Well, we all wonder, what exactly is underemployment? Is it playing farmville every morning and some games of family feud then off to your part time afternoon job? Yep, pretty much! According to Wikipedia its anyone that is highly skilled working in a low wage job or involuntary part time workers. I think it pretty much explains it there for you. Its someone that holds high quality skills for which there is low market place demand. The definitions go on and on and a person could literally keep their self busy FULL TIME just reading about what underemployment really is.
Now I'm not saying I'm some super high qualified individual but I think I can handle a decent full time job, but wait........ there would have to be someone hiring for that first. Anyhow, my blogs are going to be about people that cant seem to get where they want to be and what they are doing now instead of working full time. I'm interested in the average JOE and what life is like now beyond .... underemployment!
I am going to start posting pictures of what life is like for me now.... I"m not complaining... its just different I suppose.

Well I'm excited about the fourth of July weekend. I will hang the flag, watch fireworks, and no doubt barbeque some dogs on the grill. It will be hot I'm sure so getting through the day with out using the air conditioner is half the fun. I cant afford to run my air conditioner becaue I'm UNDEREMPLOYED!
On a different note, I suppose I will go in to my part time job today and get some work done. I really enjoy my part time job, just wish it was more money. Oh well, no sense in going on about that. I have applied for a few jobs but no response. I"m sure they get hit with 1,000 resumes every week. I dont look for other work as hard as I should as it would just end up wearing me out and really..... to be honest... keeps me from doing something else constructive.... like stuff around the house.
Yep, I do things around the house I never used to do. I used to be so much busier with FULL TIME JOBS that I couldnt do a lot of extra in the home. Well, that has for sure changed. I dont mind it really, but I do wish I could find something else as far as employment goes. I 'm sure I will eventually. I mean everything comes around EVENTUALLY!
