Default Getting frustrated (job hunt)

So, I have officially started looking for a new job in the city (and surrounding areas) that I want to move too.

I am currently about 3 hours North of where I want to go, with no time to go to that area to look for jobs. I am relying on the internet and job banks to help me find something.

I have contacted an agency to help me but to be honest, I don't hold much hope with them. They are suppose to be well known in that area but the job listings they are telling me about seem rather well... crappy.

I know how much money I *need* to make to stay afloat and secure and I know how much money I *want* to make in order to compensate what I am making now and to maintain my hobbies and short term goals.

I am also not sure what I want to do... lol... which is another problem.

I have a MA in Cognitive Psychology, have over 15 years of retail experience and have been a Store Manager for some time, where I ran a business quite successfully for a major Canadian retailer. I have a very good track record and quite the list of accomplishments from my time as a Manager which I am proud of.

Although I have this awesome education backing me, it is not something I want to do with my life (shh.. don't tell my father! ) and have come to realize that by working in the field.

I also have a diploma in Early Childhood Education but do not want to work with children - at all.

So, help people.. give me some ideas!

The job I am currently at is not able to transfer me to another location so I would be starting from scratch.
