So lets get this straight. You live in Hammond, LA. Your not willing to relocate. He has a great resume but has not put in the effort to contact managers via phone and sell himself to every computer company within 200 miles. He is unwilling to do certain jobs (i.e. programming) because he views it beneath him. You and him sit on your arse and ask why oh why can we not find a job.
If all you do is send out a resume it will be a black hole. Finding a job is not easy, and being as particular as your husband is being he better sell his arse off on why someone would or should want to hire him. You don't always get to do what you love to do in your job. It comes and goes. The point is to not be a bitch about it and be thankful you have a job.
Sounds like you and your husband need to revaluate your approach because based on the information you have provided thus far, it is no wonder why he can't find a job.

I have a full time job AND work as an adjunct. He worked full time AND had 2 part time positions (which he still has those). I can assure you...we aren't lazy or "sit on your arse" type of people. Speaking of sitting on your arse: he never said programming is beneath him, he said he doesn't like it. It is a preference and I'm sure there are things in all of our lives that we prefer not to do...not sure why that's such a huge deal. Plus, he doesn't feel anyone would hire him for programming since he hasn't done it day in-day out in years.

He is thankful he has 2 part time jobs...but they aren't a "career". He is making a career change so why not find something he really wants to do or that will lead to something he really wants to do? I'm just trying to help him look for leads...
