Stairs,
If I had not experienced job loss, long-term unemployment, interviewers who never called back, after they learned that I had undergone cancer treatment for two years, I might agree with you that all seems hopeless. There were times I felt that way myself. At the time, many employers were afraid to hire cancer patients for a variety of reasons. I still cannot obtain individual health coverage.
If believing that your present strategy takes "courage" helps you in some way, then believe what you want. However, if it merely reinforces a predisposition to despair, plot a new course utilizing your tangible talents towards your advantage.
In April, I celebrated my 26th cancer-free year strengthened with the knowledge that "where there is life, there is (always) hope".
