I am in similar position but doing a depressing job ( for major portion of the day) takes a physiological toll on you .
Everything ( lemonade ) looks uninteresting .
Seriously. I have a job I never imagined having, it pays my bills but is killing my soul. I can't wait for people to start hiring again, I will leave in a heartbeat. It's not the money, it's about doing something fulfilling.
People seem to have started hiring again at least in the US . I heard my boss lament how they are having hard time finding "bodies" ( they apparently need 2.5 resources for some upcoming project ).
