I think that "embrace the suck" can be adapted to many business situations. I graduated with my BBA in the middle of a recession in 1991 and I went through an 18 month job search during the buildup and beginning of the Iraq war. Staying positive was hard but it can be done. The one thing a prolong job search does is make you appreciate the job you eventually get. Good luck in your search.

I do believe in what you say at the end, that in the end it will turn out all right, but it sure is hard to get to that end. Keep plugging away, and try and figure out what other income streams you can create during the journey, those income streams might prove invaluable for the rest of your career!
