  1. How about people that are forced into a lay-off because a certain but nessecary work certification that they hold has been suspened by the goverment ? All for an incident that happened over 20 years ago before the certification even existed. So bascally the goverment is telling us they don't want us to work. :S

    I think the key here is that all of these positions are unskilled labor. Learn a trade, develop a demanded skill, get a degree, and you open yourself up to advancement and salary increases. Doesn't anyone try to better themselves these days? I guess being happy flipping burgers all your life is fine, but be prepared to make shitty money doing it.

    Wow, just realized that sounded kinda harsh.... Oh well, so is life.



    I have two degrees and have been looking for work for a few months now. Lucky for me I have an interview next week to try and get a job waiting tables :S
    At least you're one of the very few that doesn't believe you are too good for that job. I assure you that is not the way the majority that are unemployed feel. Sorry that you can't get a job in your own field, but at least you trying until something better comes along.

  3. On the other hand you have the mealy mouths that have been drawing unemployment for 3 + years and bitching because the company they worked for downsized. And they're too good to take any job that pays less than $30@hour because it isn't in the field their degree is in. So the rest of us sorry-assed unskilled labor types are paying increased taxes to support their sorry-ass. What was your point again ?

  4. It would have been much better if you would have agreed to carry our love child.

  5. In a lot of ways it is probably a lot better now than it was 20 years ago. In other ways not so much. For example there was no 5th group or any other group there then. That was until some Jimi fan fell asleep at his post and CWO Gossett and the rest of those fags snuck in one night. :P

    A question for everyone...

    Good or bad idea, especially in these times? Let's say you have about 15K in the bank, and thinking of NYC, Chicago, Boston...maybe Austin. Is relocating without a job and hoping to find one eventually a smart idea? Especially if you're feeling stuck in the current situation and really need to break out...

    Any thoughts? :|



    You left out quilifications ....BUT, I'd say fuckin stupid idea...till we fix O***a's fuck ups!


    Looking for a teaching position or full-time freelance or employment for a design/ad agency.
    You may actually find a teaching position due to more and more people leaving that field because of severe pay cuts. On another note, while it is most convienent to blame all of our woes on the goverment, sooner or later the public is going to have to step up and admit our own accountability. It's no longer the end of the 20th century no matter how much we pretend it is,

  7. Meh. If all of your prospects fail there's always truck-driving school. Just make sure to make a decision before you're totally broke.

    This sux. Nothing worse tha being trapped in a job you hate. Anyone relate?

    Well there is something worse. How about no job at all. The USA is losing jobs at an alarming rate to foriegn markets and illegal aliens, because more and more americans think that certain jobs are beneath their standards.

    Just a few days ago, I had this guy in lumber mill decide to lay his burden on me. Comments like, "I don't know how long I'll last at this job" and "I have to work 12 hour days 5 days a week". His oh so hard job was doing board feet tallies using an electronic scanner. Doesn't get much easier than that. I asked him if he got overtime and he said yes he did. Then I said, "Try working 16-20 hour days with no overtime 7 days a week, then you might have something to complain about". He left work that night without completing the work he was assigned because he felt like it. And yet people can't figure out what's wrong with the job market. :S

  10. Can we talk about how much more dangerous avalanches are in the USA compared to all of the parachuting sports combined ?
