sad news on the job front

well folks, i didn't get the job. found out today. i was told that they hired someone who had a "skill set that was better than" mine, whatever that means. it is suspected that they hired someone with a phd. how could i compete with that? more importantly, why would someone with a phd interview for a job at that level!? i mean, it would've been a step up for me, but it's defenitely a step down for someone with that level of education. i truly feel that that's an indication of our current economic state of affairs. we have so many overly educated people with not enough jobs, especially in the social service industry, and we're all just struggling for a job, let alone a job that we're educated and qualified (or overqualifiied) for. so anyways, that's all i can say on that. i'm disappointed but as they say, whenever God closes one door, he opens a window.
