[Job-Discussions] Pros and Cons of SSDI?

[Shelly Kane]

Hi Group:


I have always wanted a job and to feel like I'm contributing to society 
but haven't found one yet.  I have been looking for a long time and made 
the decision not to pursue it due to losing my SSDI.  I have my health 
insurance and I can't afford to lose that as well as my other benefits.  
I don't have a lot of experience since I haven't been given a chance 
after all of the interviews I went on.  I was wondering if anyone had 
any ideas for volunteer work?  I would like to do something with 
production, manufacturing, or packing or even packaging.  If any of you 
have any insight into this and some advice, I would greatly appreciate 
it.  I have been in the office field all of my life and I don't really 
want to do that.  Thanks in advance.

Shelly
