Is it just me, or is Issaquah worse than other cities for this? Specifically the Highlands. Almost every single time I am driving down Highlands Drive in the middle lane (either direction) I have to watch out for people turning left because they feel like they need to swing right before their left turn. The streets aren't THAT narrow that the teslas and BMWs couldn't handle the turn if they just slowed down to appropriate turning speeds. My full size truck makes the turns just fine and I don't have to scare those in the lanes to my right.

As the title says, I am trying to convey to my spouse the troubling times that people are having in the current job market. I read her stories from this page (she does not have reddit) to try and show her why she needs to hit the applications every day. She's finishing her masters in her current field of study (psychology) so she'd be looking for jobs in that market. I feel like I see a lot of tech folks struggling the most, and that's evident by the layoffs in the news.

I'd like to give her more data, though, so can you all tell me a bit about the following:

1. Industry you are applying for
2. Experience level
3. Education level

I am just trying to paint a picture for her so she understands. We have had a lot of discussions and she thinks I might be overselling how bad it is out there. Every few weeks, she applies to three jobs. I tell her that's good, but it should be more like 3 per day, minimum.

She obviously can't get a job without licenses for counseling, but I keep telling her to get in anywhere for the sake of resume experience. She thankfully is employed in the serving industry, but she wants out of that. Every once in a while, she throws out there that she can't apply until she graduates. Then she turns around and finds job postings that litteraly say you can be in progress for your masters and they will bring you on until you complete it and get licenses and move you into the traditional role. It's like a paid internship, clerical job, until she gets them.

Help me to explain the pain she is likely to face!
