Wife cannot find a job. Anywhere. At all.

Title.

To elaborate, my wife has been a middle school science teacher for 4 years. She has a bachelor's in education and a master's in science education.

To be blunt, she is desperate to get out. She is now looking for retail/fast food positions and STILL cannot get hired.

She has used resume services. I've looked at her resume and applications. So have her parents, my parents, our friends, her parents friends, etc. Her applications and resumes are solid. She has over a dozen different resumes for different types of jobs.

She got furious at me when I suggested leaving one or more of her degrees off of her resume but has long since removed them depending on the job.

She has applied to jobs in every sector. From Ed tech, education, admin, other teaching gigs, to insurance of all varieties, administrative assistant, receptionist... EVERYTHING.

She has applied to over 1500(!) jobs in the past 1.5 years. Of those, she has had exactly ONE interview. They wanted her but we couldn't afford the pay cut (this is no longer an issue). There were others, but those turned out to be scams such as MLM or similar.

As I mentioned, she is now applying and being rejected for retail positions, and fast food. She is depressed, miserable, and hopeless. She feels that she will never escape the classroom and I am running out of ways to encourage her to keep going.

WHAT THE FUCK DO WE DO, REDDIT????? WHATS THE ANSWER? She will literally be a Starbucks barista. NO ONE WANTS HER. This woman, who has the work ethic of a sled dog, is apparently unemployable.

How can we fix this? What do we do?

Please help. Please.
