under-dreaming User ID: 513991 United States 07/19/2009 02:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | For all unemployed or badly employed people, you should consider a job in health care. There is a huge diversity of job opportunities, and everybody in the world needs health care, until the day they die. "The Christian resolve to find the world evil and ugly, has made the world evil and ugly." - Friedrich Nietzsche "There's no way to rule innocent men. The only power government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws." ~ Ayn Rand 1905-1982 |

I went into engineering frankly just for the money and now after doing it a few summers i kind of realized i'd rather do something i loved even if it paid less So I'm kind of debating if i want to go to culinary school in August or not. I'm going around cutting grass now. It's actually not that bad. I do a few yards a week for between $50 and $100 and I'm pretty much set. OK maybe a little too honest there ha |

My father was a professional broker on a major market once too. We were in the top 1% of the nation income wise. But even that came to an end. Enjoy what you have... As you never know when it'll end.

I just graduated this past May (BS in biology) and I can't find a job anywhere! I've been mowing lawns and bush hogging my neighbors property for some cash. On Monday I start a part-time job counting money from slot machines at the racetrack/casino in town. The hours are 3:45 am - 9:00 am. Fun huh? You should do what I'm doing and teach english in a foreign country. All that is required is a college degree and several of the Asian and middle Eastern countries pay pretty well. I'm trying to leave for Taiwan this December so I can skip the whole 'winter' thing. |
