I have a large number of Web pages. Which one don't you like? > in your area there are numerous community colleges I can't take advantage of any of them, except DeAnza College, because I have no money, not even $10/month for food. I've already spent two years taking course at DeAnza and have gotten to the point where there's nothing worthwhile they have to offer. They have no money for decent computer resources, such as J2EE. > While you're not actively employed is a perfect time to spend some of > that time reading/studying to become more current. I've been doing that the whole time, but it hasn't helped me get a job or even an interview. I don't have 3-5 years PAID COMMERCIAL experience in any of the things I've learned while unemployed. > an attitude change wouldn't hurt... My attitude is that I'm very good at computer programming, well worth somebody paying me a reasonable wage to work for them, and I wish somebody would offer me a job. Meanwhile I continue to do a lot of unpaid work, with a lot of accomplishments while unemployed. http://www.rawbw.com/~rem/WAP/SeekJobAccom.html Which part of that is bad attitude? .
