there was a time after I exited the military that I could not find a job. I gathered trash metal from the sides of roads and trash piles to sell to feed my kids. I went to apply for welfare benefits until I could get on my feet, but being a single father, the wrong sex, the wrong color and wrong race, of course, I was denied. So I found 3 part-time jobs that I worked for 13 months, until I could get a full-time job. You do what you have to do to survive.
