vote number two for option number two.

this is the 2nd week of unemployment for me (if that's a word). the company that i was with closed it's local offices, so i would have had to move to another city if i wanted to keep working for them. which i didn't, so now i'm watching movies all day long and trying not to let myself get too fucked by this situation.

applied for about 15 jobs or so. didn't get a call from any of them. not gonna last more than a month like this, because i won't be able to pay the rent. hopefully this will change soon, 'cause moving back with my mom at this age would be a pretty big fail.

and there are jobs here, but most have such shit pay that it would be impossible to live on your own.

oh well, at least i have time to catch up on gaming and movies Smile

there are plenty of jobs...people just don't look hard enough...they think everything is easy to get...you work hard you get rewarded unless you are gifted in manipulation people

I myself go to school full-time and work part time 2 days a week..anyhow I can;t wait 3 more years to finish my degree!

what makes you think that the job situation is the same everywhere or that it's the same regardless of one's qualifications?

I wouldn't know where you live, but that that statement was aimed @ginger

Is it safe to assume that you can easily find job at construction? people who can do psychical work are always need sometimes pay is shit if are not experienced, but then again who would want to carry bricks for 10 hours? People want to sit in the office with air conditioner and get paid $50 an hour

Also people don't appreciate things that are given to them...heck, I only get $7.50 but it's better then no job at all? At least here is US when that big package was passed it included fixing infrastructure which means thousands of job but you have to look for it, it won't come to easy...things changed...nothing is free lunch anymore

ohhh and education always pays off

Unemployed for now, but because I'm sprinting to finish my degree in three years instead of four (this is the final year). Smile But with all the financial problems, it seems very problematic to find a proper job later.

Does being a full time Internet Marketer at home count as employed or unemployed? Laughing

Yeah right, working? Where in my god forsaken university schedule am I supposed to fit that in? Not that I didn't need it, money's always scarce, rent, food, other expenses (phone, internet, tv) and whatever else I forgot and you might wanna have some money to spend on clothes or a new game or two? Damn I need a job that pays well and doesn't afford me doing many hours a week. Preferrably something I can do from home... Gay phone sex maybe? Very Happy
Maybe if I can finally teach myself php and sql I could get a job as an admin of some bullshit site. Hmm... do I know somebody who can design websites? Gotta check that out...

Me and a friend have been thinking about that. Sounds like lots of paperwork tho, but it might be worth it. Iv got the startup capital I need and all.

Full time employment since I got my degree. Don't want to show off but I get job offers all the time. But since I'm specialized in solving bad credit situations its no wonder.
