My head hurts.... so much stress

My head hurts from all the constant stress and anxiety  I am under with looking for a job.  I  hear back from Rite Aide tomorrow at some point but I highly doubt  I will  get the job there  due to my lack of experience  at a cash register.  This job search has been non-stop for the past 6 months and it seems to turn up absolutely no leads what so ever. I am about ready to temporarily give up my search and wait till the end of the summer when all the college kids go back to school perhaps by then some retail or restaurant hostess jobs will open up.  Even the summer camps I've applied  have an insane number of applicants and  I don't think i'll be getting jobs either.  There is another secretarial position open at the tech school  and  I think  I may apply for that but  i am not sure if the people in  human resources still have my application on file or if  I  will have to fill it out again.
To keep myself  from going totally and completely insane  I have been doing some volunteer work.  Tomorrow  I start my volunteer job @ Plus Company working in their theatre department and writing grants.  I have also been volunteering at the Souhegan Valley Chamber of Commerce two or three days a week doing general office work.  I have met a lot of interesting people so far.

Another thing that adds to my stress is  the whole issue of going back to school.  I have no idea whatsoever  what I want to next as far as education is concerend.
My two options are
Taking classes  at Nashua Tech: I would be taking night classes to earn  a certificate in either Speech Pathology or Medical Coding.  I still can't decide which topic I would rather study or which area would get me a better job.   Speech Pathologists are in high demand right now so that's something to consider
Going to Graduate School at  UNH- Grad School= better job opportunities.  I want  to either study something in communications or education.  The issue with this is money because my  sister is going to college next year and my parents will have to pay for her undergrad  and my grad school if  I choose to go grad school in Sept 2010.  I suppose    I could always do some research on scholarships and loans.  The fact of having to pay even more loans back dreadens me.




American  Idol  Update
Matt got voted off.  This week's theme is  Rock and Roll. It's hard to predict who is going to go  home so soon but  I think that it could either be  Kris or Danny. 
Songs  I'd like to hear the contestants sing this week
Adam  Anything by Elvis
Allison- Anything by Aerosmith because she did really good with Don't Wanna Miss A Thing during  Songs From The Cinema Week
Danny-  Crazy Little Thing Called Love Queen
Kris  Hey Jude The Beatles

Are there  seriously  three more weeks left of American Idol? I'm so sad. My Tuesday/Wednesday nights will lose their color and charm.
