unemployment

i have a new respect for the unemployed, for people who say they can't find a job.
i personally have never really had to look for a job. sure when i was in high school and college, i needed a part time job. but this is different than making a career change.
i just got back from Romania...three weeks and a day ago to be exact. i thought i'd want to relax, enjoy resting, but i'm ready to move on.
but i don't know what to move on towards.
i've looked for jobs online...and there are a lot out there. grated i'm not qualified for all of them, but probably 30% i could at least apply for. and i'm not one to try these "get rich by working from home" things...it just seems a little shady to me.
but of these...let's say 30 jobs...none of them seem to be where i want to be. some of them are even areas that i've worked in before.
it's hard, but i'm past having a job just to make money. i know i've got to work (those who don't work, don't eat), but i just want to find something that is fulfilling.
so i understand people who say, "i can't find a job." they mean they can't find a job that would make them happy.
if it came down to it, if i had a family to support, i could work retail or in the food industry. but i'm really praying that i don't have to do that.
