I have a job but after Graduating with a B.S. in computer science  I was able to hold on to my current job but I have not been able to get a new job. I am getting worried because loan repayment happens soon but on top of that health insurance for my family is over 800 dollars !.  my Wife has been looking for a job for the last year and 1/2  and she has a B.S. in biology  . I think its sad how every one is claiming a rebound but this is directly after the cash for clunkers, because I sure dont see a recovery.

I have been going to school  @ OSU  seeking a comptuer science degree over the last 5 years and working .I have had steady work during that time. Most of the time the class i was currently taking at the time was able to directly help me at work. Also  you would be hard pressed to find a computer programmer out of work even though alot of programming jobs are going over seas where a company can hire a programmer for  afraction of the price you would pay some one here. I think the biggest problem is that companies that outsource thier work over seas dont pay taxes on those over seas workers. Yet when a company has an employee here they have to pay alot of taxes on them

For those of you who have found your self in a jam the USDA is now offering loan programs to help.

They used to only help farms but now they are offering assistance to Rural_development.

Here is the information on the program for Oregon
