My job shut down and was getting that Unemployment check for a few months before I decided to look for something else. I was making moves on the side, cause that check just wasn’t going to cut it.... Just looked at it as a extended Vacation

Depends on the area they live, job market, and field you're tryin to look in.

Which why I moved and went back to my old job when they relocated. Didn't feel like going thru that job searching process all over again.

10 months.

Went through a rough time in my life and was depressed as fuck. I denied I was and was blaming everything in bad luck.

Ended up in county jail for a few weeks and all bad shit. I wasn’t taking control of my life and was just was going wherever the wind was taking.

Never again

See nah. I looked but that shit wasn’t hitting. I had help though, so I was straight.

Middle of 2015 to middle of 2016. I ain’t wanna work no more so I quit. Eventually when I did wanna work, nobody was calling back. I said fuck it, I was straight til I got close to that year mark. The struggle was beginning to kick in and BAM got hired at the place I’m at now.

 

[ChicagoFigure]

Never since i began working at 15.
