In need of job, money, health

When I dropped out of college, had to move back in with my parents and was in serious need of money, I worked double, sometimes even triple jobs to pay my way through community college and start funds for moving out.

I constantly searched for any job that I knew I was capable of doing, some even more. I would update my resume on a weekly basis and post it on Monster.com, Yahoo Hot Jobs, even send it via email to various different job-placement agencies. I didn't have a car back then so I relied on public transportation and my boyfriend to drive me to interviews and such. My choices were limited.

So after a few months of empty results, I registered with a local job-placement agency. I finally landed on a job that required speed-data-entry: an invoicing clerk for a vegetable / produce warehouse. It was $8, maybe $9 an hour and the job started at 6 in the morning, but it paid the bills, and somewhat held up my bank account. Basically this agency gave me opportunities as a temp worker provided to businesses around the area.

Currently, I work as an aircraft parts buyer, and my W2 Forms from this year tells me I'd accured 31K gross. How I got to this job was from my last job as a temp worker; I was working in a administrative assistant (pseudo-secretary) job, which netted $13/hr. (As you can see, it's significantly better compared to what I first got paid right after dropping out of university) One of the managers in the aircraft parts group saw that I was a hard worker, eager to learn, and willing to take challenges, so he recomended me to the position as a buyer when one of his employees were leaving. That's the job I have now, and I've since then accured a 401K plan and can afford for myself: 1) decent health care which I never had before, 2) a car (last year), and 3) braces to straighten my teeth, which was NEVER a possibility under BOTH of my parents' income while I was growing up as a child.

I don't know about you, but I was pretty desperate for a job that my pride was beneath me and I didn't care who or what paid my bills. If you've got neither cash to get yourself out of your crummy situation / go back to school or no educational background to support your experience on a resume, then I can say for sure it's not your place to be picky. I know because I've been there.
