I'm finding its still really tough out there. I've been where I am for almost 7 years now. I have a horrible commute and now that I have kids I'm looking to relieve some of that.

The problem I've found other than a lack of positions is that companies don't have to offer attractive compensation plans. They have the power now with so many people out of work to lower the pay and benefit scale.

I agree with the others who have said to use the time constructively to better your skills and knowledge.

Good luck in whatever you decide.
