All of the above. DPITA supported me, so I had food and a place to live. But no money of my own. I couldn't stand not being useful. I got kind of depressed and just sat around all day moping. I didn't even watch TV. I kept trying to find jobs, but the market was glutted and folks with more experience were hired over me. And that was discouraging.
