Jack of all trades in this economy will serve you better in a job search than being than the master of one.

Not quite. Skilled laborers will always be in demand no matter what because everybody is going to college and getting degrees. So if you're a master carpenter then you're pretty much guaranteed a job. This is because no matter how the economy is people still need their roof fixed or their A/C fixed etc etc.

I fix heating and a/c, and there are plenty of places I can find work if I leave my current job, plus (not bragging) I make more than most college grads

Let me try to answer your honest question, GBS. Many more cheeks than I've even yet discovered. Here's why a compassionate frame of reference and the grace mechanics of instant forgiveness make ultimate sense: #1. You consider the source. #2. Look past the post. #3. See the person behind it. #4. Recognize the telltale signs of emotional immaturity. #5. ...[text shortened]... tunity to forgive and forget without losing stride. Give thanks. Smile anyway and move on. -gb

No need thanks but I appreciate your sincere interest in my one dimensional universe. Oh and if you don't mind....ah forget it.

The jetpack cheat is extremely handy if you don't mind cheating.

Unfortunately, your rec-worthy post will be lost on those who should heed it the most: the jaded, the defensive, the retrogressive.

Truth. It hurts.

I need something to get myself up off the couch, being in between jobs is rotting my self esteem. Suggestions on ways of getting my impetus back.

Self esteem
Get it back
Get off the couch, go for a walk, have a beer if you like.
Get back into the groove man. You're a bright guy and talented.
Don't doubt in yourself
Peace 😉
