Walking a paved path

So after the initial disappointment with my new job and of course a lot a bit of stress about how I am going to pay bills and support my wife, I decided to attempt to do something with the other side of my degree. As most of you know I graduated with an Aviation Flight Science Bachelors as well as a Aviation Science and Administration Bachelors, and I did this in the hopes that I would not have to go back to school for my MBA.  After about a week of setting up Monster.com and Careerbuilder.com profiles I started getting calls.  I took interviews for about a week, most of which were in Orlando.  In the end it came down to two positions. One would just be another job that I could do on the side from home and possibly make a commission or two after about a billion phone calls. The other position was again a commission based job but after your first promotion there is a base pay, nothing great but at least it is something stable to pay the bills with. Well after a first and second interview I was really hoping for something. The interviewers told me that they would call me around 3pm with there decision and I had to be at my flight instructing job at 4pm.  Because I live about an hour away when 3pm came and went I got in my car and started driving to Vero Beach.

Less

What do you do when life turns out to be less than what you expect? Where do you turn when every move you make seems to be the wrong one or get you no further down the road than the path you were on. I have a few good examples around me for which I am thankful but strangely that doesn't make things any better. I am fed up with this world and the million different ways that it sucks (by the way sucking is physically impossible it can only blow).  Let me explain a little more about my situation.....
