Kathryn,
I live in a small town in Michigan about 5000 population, and a sister town  
with an additional 10000 people but the regular salons don't hire nail techs,  
and the nail salons are all asian. I tried to work in one of the asian shops, 
 but after three days I couldn't stay without endangering my own license. 
NSS.  Even walmarts nail salon is empty. I think Michigans unemployment rate is 
 
at 11% now. But that is only counting those receiving unemployment benefits. 
In  my AND my husbands family, only 3 people have a job right now, two of which 
 is under 12k a year. No one gets unemployment benefits. My back up being a  
degree in animal science, and toxicology scientist has not even helped. I've  
applied throughout the united states, but have not even had a phone interview. 
 Since my husband is a waiter, things are only going to get worse. He depends 
on  tips. He has made only 150 bucks this month so far. We are going to have 
to sell  everything we own in order to pay bills. Selling all the stuff in my 
salon is  the first thing to go, considering my doctor told me if I continued 
to play with  artificial nail products I would be deaf within a year. (Chronic 
ear infections  from allergies to it) I just don't see the light beyond this, 
only fear of what  comes next. I do still have hope to win the lotto though 
lol... ......

Missy,

I'm so sorry to hear about your shop.  Where  are you?  Are there any other 
salons you can work at?  I know here  it's hard because we're in such a small 
town.  There's about 3 oriental  shops that won't hire anyone but orientals so 
they're not an option. It's slow  here in central FL so even the full service 
salons aren't hiring. Hope you can  work something out.

Kathryn
