Friends tell us that life in the USA is not so easy,
Obama's approval ratings
This young lady was laid off from a great job at a bank, making up to seventy thousand dollars a year, then, just as she was looking forward to a promotion,
she got laid off.
This young lady Sukhraj, is facing a considerable amount of family criticism,
not her fault, she is like millions of other young people, stuck in an
economy that is not only making it very difficult to live, thrive and survive,
but also, this is the point in her life when you should be able to surge
forward with her career, think about building a family and setting up
a plan for a future.
The best that her family could suggest is to "marry a doctor", they are obviously a previous generation and don't understand the way it is for
their children in these times.
"I have to go there and tell them I was able to get my next promotion and that I'm on track and that there's no way the company would let me go because I'm such a valuable asset and all this bulls***," Beasla said.
However, the kid seems to be a champion, she has started her own business, hustled to survive, sends out many cv's, looks for ways to economise and keeps on going. However, having been out of work ourselves, we know it sucks to not be within one's career track.
Her unemployment benefits ran out, so she is hustling up money any way she can, and is able to keep a blog going on Ireport to update people on her daily life. We would guess that she is of Asian Indian descent, there is a lot of pressure in the culture for the children to do well, have status, money and have the appearance of being prosperous, understandable coming from a continent where there is so much poverty.
Great lady, and we will wish her well.
