When I became unemployed a few years ago It smacked me in the face just how hard a decent job is to find even with experience. I've said it here before and I'll say it again, education is good, experience is great but networking and contacts are going to make it or break it for most people.

I thought I was going to switch careers but I got a rude awaking. At the end of the day I had to use my contacts to pickup another job in the same industry I was trying to escape. Think about your friends and family members and how they got there jobs. I"m willing to bet many if not most of them knew somebody, had an in that helped them get where there foot in the door.
