I lost my good job in michigan, got married, and had a baby within the last year. I been bouncing from bad job to bad job, running out of money, and I am under so much stress it's taking years off of my life so badly I can feel it. How do I try to take it one step at a time, or at least look to other sources for help? I apply to about 120 jobs a month, but nobody is hiring, and I can't afford to move out of state for work, let alone take my wife, my newborn, and my 2 year old stepdaughter looking for work with me.....PLEASE HELP ME!

This may help eliminate undue stress. Secondly, if you don't mind doing construction work,or know how to do it, you could always drive around looking for companies that are building new houses. If you take your own tools, they may offer you work on the spot. Secondly, can you do computer work or any other specialty work? If so, you could put an ad in the newspaper offering your services. Another thing to consider, going to college. I am currently enrolled in University of Phoenix, and I take all my classes online through their Axia College division. This may help you get a college degree and land a better job. I hope I have helped. Good Luck. [ AngelofMercy's advice column | Ask AngelofMercy A Question ]
