But for each job I apply to, there are at least 25 others (often many, many more) competing for that same ONE job. I could try going into Sacto for work, but the cost of gas would mean that I'm working to pay for fuel. Not exactly the solution to the initial problem, is it?

Sometimes it's easier said than done is all I'm sayin'.
