In need of job, money, health

After taking 2 years of Networking at the college here, I dropped out because it didn't interest me. I don't have the first year degree from the course because I failed a silly English course, so I really have nothing to show for it. I tried Programming last semester, but dropped that too because it was a lousy sham. I was one of two kids enrolled, and the topics were too technical. As a result, I've been banned, technically, from enrolling in anymore courses there.

I really am in dire need of a job and healthcare. I've been looking for work involving computer tech, or web design for a few years with no luck. I blame this city of 50,000 because everyone wants experienced applicants and they won't give newcomers a chance. It's boiled down to looking for jobs in other places. Diabetes is expensive ($300/month) and I can't afford the medication. A high-paying job, or full medical benefits is really my only option.

I'm a little worried about moving to another city because I have no cash to fall back on. Officially, I have no college education either; I do have A+ and Net+ ,though. (A few thousand bucks would help me search in other provinces/states.)

I don't know what to do. My parents are footing the medication cost now as this is the first month ever I have never had healthcare. Any info on how to get a green card for working in the US and American healthcare would be appreciated as well.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I just wanted to post this here and free my journal from this solitary post.

I've mentioned before that I've been unemployed for a number of months now. I needed to get certain things straightened out in my head before I could look for a job that would suit my skills.

In January, I was almost guaranteed an IT job with my friend in another city. My skills beat out that of any of the other applicants but my education wasn't up to par. Failing an English course in the first semester of college prevented me from obtaining a first year graduate certificate, and dropping the second year didn't help either. To them, I don't have a college education at all. I wasn't hired. I had never realized how important the college education really was. It felt like BS during the course, but still ended up being pretty valuable.

To keep it short, even without that piece of college paper, I'm still at my best working at a job involving computers or web design. I would also consider jobs those grunt jobs requiring no education below me. I'm curious to know if that makes me seem like an asshole, because that's what my mom seems to think. My mom's constant nagging and old-fashioned views of a job are what annoy me most.

It's a fact there are no IT jobs in this town. I've decided to not be such a pussy and look in other cities like Lethbridge, Edmonton or in other provinces. Calgary still scares me. :/

I think I'l going to take a trip to Lethbridge, find a newspaper, and cruise the businesses. Not to mention, scout the sites like Monster for jobs.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
