<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Detecto92, post: 1609983, member: 75105&quot;]Here is the problem. I don&#039;t care what side of the fence your on, but it&#039;s a problem.</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m STILL without a job. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve lowered my expectations quite a bit. At 1st I wanted to work as a salesman somewhere, like Sears. </p><p><br /></p><p>Then I applied for counter work at places like Autozone, Orileys, and the like.</p><p><br /></p><p>With no results, I went lower, I put my app into places like McDonald&#039;s, Wendy&#039;s, Subway, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>I even put my app into janitorial places, like the hospital.</p><p><br /></p><p>Guess what? I still don&#039;t have a job, after putting my app into two dozens places.</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason?</p><p><br /></p><p>Due to corporate greed (this is a non-party issue), CEOs moved millions of jobs to Mexico, India, and China.</p><p><br /></p><p>15 years ago ( I was 6, but still remember), most people who worked fast food where in HS.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I see people in their <u>THIRTIES,</u> with <b>college degrees, </b>asking &quot;do you want fries with that&quot;?</p><p><br /></p><p>When all those manufacturing jobs went away, all those people working needed jobs. </p><p><br /></p><p>Well do you think Wendy&#039;s or Subway, is gonna take a 30 year old with a College Degree, over someone who is 20, with only a HS Diploma? Sure they are.</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe the answer is college, well guess what? Sometime in April, it was published that<b> FIFTY PERCENT of college grads cannot find a job.</b></p><p><br /></p><p>The problem is, that there are<b> NOT ENOUGH</b> jobs to go around. I don&#039;t give a rat&#039;s behind if you have a MBA, PHD, or whatever, your chance of getting a job is still not very good.</p><p><br /></p><p>I knew of someone who wanted to be a teacher. One position open for a school, in a town of 35,000, guess how many well educated people, who had teaching degrees, applied for that job? <b>800! </b></p><p><b><br /></b></p><p>Does that give you any clue, as to how bad it really is? </p><p><br /></p><p>The point is, until all those jobs that greedy CEO&#039;s shipped overseas, come back, it&#039;s gonna be rough for everyone. It has been rough since Day 1 of them doing it, and it will not improve.</p><p><br /></p><p>I know people working 2-3 jobs, just to stay afloat. You cannot live on min wage, it&#039;s simply not possible. </p><p><br /></p><p>The average man, working 40 hours a week, min wage, takes home roughly $1000 a month.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rent $400</p><p>Groceries $200.</p><p>Car Payment $200</p><p>Phone and internet $80</p><p><br /></p><p>You see? We already spent most of his pay, with little left to go around. </p><p><br /></p><p>Both sides can talk whatever they want, but the truth is this:</p><p><br /></p><p>Until all those jobs that were sent offshore, come back to OUR SHORE, it&#039;s gonna be the same crap, just a different day.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
