Let's talk about unemployment

by Carolyn Wright, Ph.D.

Posted by Carolyn Wright | September 29, 2011

I'm unemployed. I know I'm not alone. Even though I have a doctorate and 20 years of experience as a Marriage and Family Therapist, I haven't been able to find a job in some time. Back when my mentor told me I had passed the doctoral examination, she said that I would have a permanent credential-one that no one could take away from me. She was right. I do have the credential. Now where is the job? My mentor couldn't possibly have foreseen the fact that I would be headed out into the market in the worst economic climate since the Great Depression.
