Looking for Work

I have been looking for work for almost 4 weeks now. It is getting hard to find work to apply for with my experience and pay wage. The problem is that I have a lot of experience and at my last job I was getting good wage. Also there is not that many jobs posted with wages near what I was making. Of course when I apply for jobs that do not post a wage, I find out later that I am over qualified for the position and that it is not in my pay range. Well, I now I have to think outside the box to find a way to make some money.

Well, I have been getting emails about work for self employment positions, like Financial Adviser or Insurance Agent, you have to pay a lot up front for training and licenses. Also you have to network with friends and family or cold call or buy more leads to get your business going. I have talked about this with my husband and if I do this it will be a last resort kind of thing. Also I do not know if I can still claim unemployment benefits or training can be call for career change and it's okay to claim.

Then there is going back to school, guess what they will not pay unemployment benefits if I go back. They will not let me because my job is still here in the United States and did not get ship overseas. Also my skills can be used for any industry. If there is office work then I must apply but the problem is most Office work is entry level position and is paying to low for me.

I have a few other ideas about making some money but I need to get a plan in place for business ideas. I need to some research and brainstorming. I might need some investors as well. I am trying to think of things to do between interview and job searching, which is not very often. Cleaning house gets boring after a while.
