The job market is really tough right now I have a friend looking and she says there ain't much out there.

I would try and stick it out 'til things get a bit better.

My 02 cents

Seriously youre better off staying where you are. My fiance is 27 years old now, She graduated in 2007 with an MBA from Cal State Hayward. She left her job in May 2008 for pregnancy reasons. Our daughter was born June 2nd and my lady has been job searching since. She has an A.A. a B.S. and an M.B.A and cant seem to get a decent job to save her life. Believe me ive seen many a replies to her "We thank you for your interest but we arent looking to hire anytime soon" or "We've recieved your resume/ application but sadly it hasnt made it to our interviewing process but thank you for your interest"
In short, if you got a job, keep it. I have a 7 month old. Times will be tough, but imagin having a baby and no job.

the fact that your work is busy and giving your crazy hours is good! So many people would love to be in your shoes right now. Stay where you are and put in some good time. The extra money will help your baby out...

Good luck and congrats on the new baby.

Dont give up yet bro, your only 17. Did u get your G.E.D? If I could go back to 17 years old, I most definitely would have went to college when i look back now, but i hated school?

Its hard to find a good job right now though....

---

Yea bro dont give up im not to much older then you when I was 17 I had my own house on a rent to own bases with my girl, was making good money well great money. It was all good for a couple years, An all the changed over night when the economy took a shit, Now im back at my parents house renting a room. I didnt finish high school dropped out at 16 to work construction if i could re-do it I would in a heart beat. Just whatever you do get your g.e.d thats what im tryna do an hopefully it helps on tryna find work!..... But off that note good choice on keeping your job!!
