- Thread starter VILEPLUME
- Start date
IT'S been a while since I have been on this site, due to the fact that I have been in the hospital.
for 2wk's IT'S an herreditary condition that I have, but enough about that , as for my dead end shitty job
I quit I stoped working there I could not take any more, I have saving's and investments , and I am just
waiting for the resumes that I put out , to get responces, I have a firm that wants to see me for an interview ,
so I surmise that , that is a good thing. ANYWAY best of luck to everyone else.

i work for state farm... insurance aint all its cracked up to be bro... but its and easy job.. its the people that you deal with that suck
Its not all comepletely the people on welfare... the goverment could cut much unneeded welfare and make them forced to make a dollar. Lower taxes and people wouldnt be so hurt up for money. IMO they higher taxes to allow people to get more of these "grants" or welfare things so more people are kept in databases an be on all state issued thing.
Atleast, if on state aid have work to do for them. Possibly a city bus comes and picks up groups and brings to do simple tasks like outside clean up or volunteer work somewhere... get people who want the easy ride with state aid to have to do something. Then they rather settle for burger king or something. Its like having a kid who always sits at mommys an daddys an says why do i need to leave they wont put me on street? I live free an get what i want. One day parents had enough an put there shit outside an kid is obligated to work... its not that many people cant work. Its that they have the option not to.
Im not politically knowledged so just random ideas i had but i can say when i was on mass unemployment i was forced to attend useless classes that prob never helped anyone and forced to do certain things to stay on my unemployment. I did them or i got shut off. No questions asked. I got off unemployment the very second i had a chance. Hated doing all those things getting treated like an idiot but it make me not want to sit on unemployment for yrs worth of time cause i didnt wanna work they wanted for the classes. An unemployment is earned imo.

Why don't you keep your average job to live week by week and plan a decent sized grow outdoor or indoor whatever suits you , then keep the money your making from your growing and do something smart with it eg. Invest or use as a house deposit. Just an idea ,may not suit everyone though

Possessions never meant anything to me, I'm not crazy. Well, that's not true I have a bed. And a guitar. And a dog name bob who pisses on my floor. That's right, I've got a floor. So what?
Hello,
26 years old here, bringing in roughly five to six thousand a month before taxes. Im lucky though, I live in Texas and work in the oilfield. Paying off home and car, have wife, ect.
Hate my job though, more than anything in the world. Starting to realize that money isnt important - having what you need, and enjoying your family is.
Thanks.

again, oilfield. its op.
but I work 7 days on, 2 days off. and those seven days im on I am on 24 hour call. so, hate my work life.
Dont sweat money man. Just focus on paying your bills down, and getting your shit straight. once you are there, be a cash man. thats how one should live life.
You will always have a house note in most cases, and maybe a care note. but aside from that, stay out of debt and you can live off an easy job. even easier if you get a girl that works

shittt 23 and i.grow.for a living lol besides sit on riu lol
3 words. LEARN A TRADE. Some things people will always have to do. and anyone that says you wont get shit breaking your back is lazy. (Not that anyone did) i personally build new homes and do custom remodels, im in my 20s makin 30+ an hour depending on the job. took 3 years working my ass off as a young buck to get there. but i did. own my own house, built a 2200 sq/ft shop stuffed it with toys and tools and called it paradise. its amazing what hard work will do.

Nice. I'm glad you were able to stay busy with the bubble bursting. I'm thinking about getting back in as a general. Are you in OR or WA?
Shit is tight kids. I don;t envy you young folks. The national debt that is being put on your future is backbreaking.

I've been unemployed for most of my 20's and now I'm turning 27 in a few months. The area I'm from is an absolute joke, like 500 people putting in for every menial position advertised. All I can do is keep trying but I don't feel bad about it, the economy is fucked, not my fault. Doesn't mean I'm going to play into the governments hands and end up getting trapped in toilet cleaning or burger king positions. That's what they want. They protect their own and when it comes to the lowest in society they are happy for you to get caught in the service industry, more monkey boys to shine their shoes and cook their burgers. Doing a degree now to keep me sane, so maybe in a few years the economy will pick back up and I'll be in a position to land a nice job, I will maybe do some volunteer work to aid my prospects.

24, full time(49-53 hours, always) Im a welder and fabricator, as well as lead saw operator, I gross a bit over 49k a year, I dont own my own home, but rather rent, reason being, im getting into glassblowing as well, and am looking to move once i have everything purchased and some practice. I own my truck, it might of been my dads at one time but so what lol. No I didnt get it given to me, my parents never baught us shit like that growing up, they worked for everything, so did we. About my truck thoe, my dad had traded it in for a brand new truck, I asked if he was trading the old one and he said no.(i have a personal bond for that truck already) he rolls over the next day in his new truck, and then admitted the car sales man had even gotten the other truck on trade he was that smooth. So that night after work, i went to the dealership and purchased the truck back, for double what they gave for it, they wanted over 3 times that and it had only been there a day, hadnt even been cleaned up yet lol. My home is far from trashy too, everything in it is brand new, and the way i wanted it this time, new 2 toned leather sectional and chair, new bed, flatscreen, laptop, and everything else to fill out a place, all purchased and paid for.
and the best part about all this? ive only been out of prison 18 months, got out with nothin but a few pairs of cloths. what the cops didnt get, my ex-fiance did. it took 3 and half years for me to get my mind straight and on the right track to make all that stuff possible, im one of the few that walked out changed like i did. and i wasnt any to good in there either. I planned to get right back to growing, doing the same old shit until the day i walked out, discharged. all of sudden being a free man made me terrified of going back, i saw what i wanted. and im getting it everyday. But of everyone i kno, all the familys or parents help them, whatever it may be, a new car, help on a fuckin house, hell i kno a few who are living large off their parents, and then bitch because they have to work 20-25 hours a week.

ABC News just put this story out
Generation X Fares Poorly During Recession, Says Study
"Dan Schwabel, a generational expert and author of the forthcoming "Promote Yourself: The New Rules for Career Success," believes that members of Generation Y (or millennials, born between 1976 and 2000) are the real victims. "Almost 60 percent of millennials have a bachelor's degree, but the most common jobs are in retail," he told ABCNews.com."
http://gma.yahoo.com/blogs/abc-blogs/generation-x-fares-poorly-during-recession-study-finds-172934936.html
Also, only about 50% of those kids (with degrees) can find a job.......even in retail. Some areas are better than others, but as a whole, this country is in trouble. Most of those kids have student loans to repay and no jobs, or menial jobs, from which to repay them. When the economy pooped out, the gov't said "go to school, get a degree to get a job!". They made loans available to anyone at low interest rates. Now there are no jobs for the majority of them, and they owe tens of thousands on average with those interest rates going up. Manufacturing jobs have shrunk by almost half since 1980, many customer service and manufacturing jobs outsourced, leaving retail and service industry (food) jobs. Older folks (management) have been pushed out by cuts, and a huge pool of young folks willing to work more for less. Shit is crazy.
