What Should I do?

Hi–Thanks for all of your ideas. I do have a family and so relocation is not a possibility. I have been to the career center at my university but they offered little more than a how to brochure and a list of careers for my major. I have been applying for those type of jobs. But to no avail. The careers that seem available are museum and archive work, but these employers want employees who studied this specific area of history. I am a researcher and have no experience in these fields.

Sorry about my attitude, but I am losing hope. I have been looking for funding and/or a job since last May. Thus far all I have received from funding is rejection letters “I am sorry but you were not one of the best candidates…” and not one interview.
