Many of us may be underemployed. The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language (4th Edition, 2000) defined underemployed as:
1. Employed only part-time when one needs and desires full-time employment.
2. Inadequately employed, especially employed at a low-paying job that requires less skill or training than one possesses.
3. Not fully or adequately used or employed.

Interesting. I thought that "underemployed" only applied to part-time employees. Eek! This means that I have been "underemployed" since 2003. That's really, really depressing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for posting Zoe Doe! I truly believe there are many, many people out there with lots of potential just doing quite a lot of other things right now and hoping to find our true places sooner rather than later.
