Having a hard time getting motivated... [View all]

I've been out of work since May, and I'm having a really hard time getting motivated to look for work. All the jobs out there seem so crappy and miserable, mostly sales oriented, all calling for the position holder to essentially do the jobs of several people. I'm also very gunshy because in the last jobs I have worked, I essentially have been working for psychopaths. It seems like in order to be 'successful' today, you have to be a psychopath! I'm really fed up with this situation. Any ideas?
