I am unemployed by choise atm. My wife and I moved away from Lethbridge, Alberta (population 80K plus I think) in December to come to Kimberley, British Columbia (population 5 k if that!). We did this to escape the "big city", Lethbridge in no way was a "bg city" but we just wanted out.

In hindsight I do kinda regret it. There are things here that we do enjoy alot more like open space, trees, mountains... all the things we were raised with in Northern British Columbia. I left my job with the Royal Bank $30k/year to come here to nothing. I thought with my experience (7 years with the bank) I wouldn't have any problem finding a job. Problem is there isnt any jobs for me to find! :P They say unemployment is the lowest ever but... IMO what good is that if there is no growth? Anyways don't need to talk about all that... back to the thread subject...

I am unemployed by choice. I was supposed to be getting some part-time casual work here @ the branch in Kimberley, but haven't been getting enough to make a difference so I have basically given up there. I have the experience that is all I am concerned about! My wife is working almost full time @ the Ski hill day care. But with the shitty weather that will be ending soon. Up until now we have been getting by. Thats all that really matters to me. But with her out of a job that leaves... nothing! I am enjoying my time off. Haven't been all that productive. Chilling out... job hunting once a week but there just isnt any employment out here. Even gone to gas stations! I guess they don't want someone with 7 years solid customer service experience etc etc... there I go again... can tell how I feel about being here? lol

I am enjoying it. But the bills will be neglected in a month or two! :P Lol.

But by your definition I am not Unemployed. I am seeking employment so that I may live. It's unfortunate that everyone is forced to have to work to live. Society eh? My wife just won't let me conivince her to go live the rest of our lives on some beach in a litte hut. I think I could do it.

Anways. Ha! Stupid post. I say too much!

Hope some of it helps.

Cheers!
