Need some advice..

First off, I'm 33. Live in Knoxville. Was in the Air Force from 96-00. I drove for them hauling missile parts out to launch sites in Minot, North Dakota. I had a military CDL, which doesn't transfer. Since 00, I had humped lousy production jobs for 8/hour. Got to use my GI Bill (which unfortunately ran out this past August) to get an IT degree, dealing with networks and computers. It was just a flimsy 2 year degree at a Community College.

I landed a job making 17/hour for a little over a year, working for a school system. Had a falling out with them and quit, they wanted to me to stay and work all night and set things up/tear things down for school banquets, proms, award ceremonies, chorus shows, etc. But as soon as I put this down as overtime on my time sheet they flew through the roof, they didn't even want me to put it down as straight time. In other words, I was suppose to look at it as charity work and do it for nothing. So I quit back in June. Now here I sit in October and haven't found a single thing.

I have a wife and 2 kids. It's hard not to get teary eyed just typing this out. But I don't know what to do anymore. Our bank accounts have went into the negative 4 or 5 times, only to stay afloat after a parent gave us a hand out here and there. So far we've kept up with the bills, we just moved into this house back February and are already in danger of losing it.

To shorten the story up, I'm afraid of losing everything. I've put in for over 30 jobs (not trucking). I can't afford the 4000 it takes to go to a decent school and get a CDL, my GI Bill is no longer active.

So what's the point of this long boring post? Just a simple question. If you were me, would rather go work in store for Target or somewhere similar for 8/hour if they call? Or, if you didn't already drive, would you consider getting started with a (Swift, CRE, etc.)? Which one would have a better upside in the future? I'm desperate for money. I've never been in trouble with the law, I've always been a decent person to others. But I am stressed..bordering close to dangerous depression. I'm about out of cards to play.

Thanks for reading..or not reading, whichever.
