Harley Guenther- Outside Reading #3

Many people who become jobless, take the unscheduled time off to do what they have been putting off, GO HIKING! People like "Son Driven", were laid off and decide to hike the trail until their hiatus from work is over. Son Driven said, "In 07/2001 I lost my management job, which largely defined who I was at that time. Then 911 hit, and being unemployed I stayed glued to the 24/7 coverage until it started to play out. In 2003 the VA (Veteran’s Administration) diagnosed me with a massive depression disorder, and said I developed my depression while guarding nuclear missile silos from 1975-1979, and awarded me a 70% disability. I have been either unemployed or under employed since I lost my job in 07/2001; I was a manager for a manufacturing company, over seeing the development of computer aided drafting software, utilized to design research laboratories." Any trail can fill the gap of free time in an unemployed period in their life.
