    1.) 99.99999999999999999999% of all jobs I am either not qualified for (97.9%) or wouldn't even consider (2%).
    College is just a cruel trick!

    I really don't [i]want/I> a job. I would be perfectly content building my own empire, but in the meantime I need some money. Hmmm.

    Have you looked at those boards lately? Are there really that many people dying to be insurance agents?

    Dude, get any 9-5 and stack paper. You'll enjoy it, I know you will.

    That's what they all say.

    I doubt I'll enjoy a 9-5 I specifically pick out.

    I wonder what % of people actually enjoy their 9-5.

    I'd venture to say it's somewhere in the negatives.

    I thought hippies didn't have phones... or zippers... or velcro...

    I don't like your energy. You should really consider disconnecting and getting your mind right. I'd start with a camping trip: High elevations, preferably by a lake or stream, plenty of conifers, clean, cool air. There's nothing quite like it.

    Do you know how much daycare is? Gotta make at least a reasonable amount.

    did you have a kid in college? that's some productivity right there. be sure to include on resume.

    Responses seem to be bearing out my initial impression.

    "one word for you: plastics"




    really... real estate. open job market and the potential for lots of money. i have some friends that do it and it does not seem unbearable at all.
    good luck.

    Man I went through the same shit looking for a job. Its really hard if you don't have experience. The job market sucks in most parts of the US now because there are so many collage grads and not very many good job. A lot of people just keep going back to school to get more degrees, but I have enough debt already I can't afford that shit. When I first got out of school I couldn???t even get a job in a grocery store. I had over 5 years experience from high school and collage and they still wouldn???t hire me. They thought I would quit as soon as something else came along, which I would have. Its really all about who you know. I got my job because the HR person where my girlfriend works told me about it and got me an interview. Just talk to everyone you know and tell them you are looking for a job, and hopefully someone knows someone.

    Internships are the only way to get your foot in the door.


    But besides that.

    Judging from your posts and general demeneor I would say you're fucked.

    also it helps to eat lunch at places professionals frequent, strike up a conversation with the 40 year old women who look sad, say im looking for a career change about 12 minutes into conversation, buy a martini, BADABING!

    That is almost exactly how I got my job.

    When all the doors are shut, here's the final option: english teaching abroad.
    For instance, Argentina is full all young americans teaching english. Plus, after work, they are all with the girls at the bars circuit.
