Good luck! My wife is looking too, and it doesn't look good anywhere in this economy.
You and your wife are in my thoughts! My grandfather once told me: Stressing about something that has not happened yet makes you old faster, what does it help to stress about something thats done, because it is done it is out of your hands. He was talking about exams, but it has stuck with me. You can prepare and do your best when the time comes, rest is out of your hands.
I get whined up a lot and started looking into diaphragm breathing, know it sounds stupid but it has helped. Maybe something to look into?
Either way, I am sure things will get going!
have a loose idea of what a statistical model is but no idea of the applications. always good to learn something new though.
I'm trying to figure out what I need to learn/do next. have another bit of work lining up and hopefully a small but very much needed steady (enough) income coming soon. just have to stay at it..
The application of the stats models are mainly used in economics and trading...comes down to supply and demand. The higher the demand, the higher the price, models are used to see patterns etc. Thats the short of it.
Enjoy the job venture and I know things will make a turn for better!
Joke:
A burglar has just made it into the house he's intending ransacking, and he's looking around for stuff to steal. All of a sudden, a little voice pipes up, "I can see you, and so can Jesus!"
Startled, the burglar looks around the room. No one there at all, so he goes back to his business.
"I can see you, and so can Jesus!"
The burglar jumps again, and takes a longer look around the room. Over in the corner by the window, almost obscured by curtains, is a cage in which sits a parrot, who pipes up again, "I can see you, and so can Jesus!"
"So what," says the burglar, "you're only a parrot and your name tag says Moses!"
To which the parrot replies, "True but Jesus is the rottweiler!"
