ScarletKnight Posted October 27, 2007 Report Share Posted October 27, 2007 THE JOB MARKET SUCKS, sorry I don't care what statistic you want to throw out, there are probably statistics that are non-partisan(unlike the governments) that say the exact opposite. The point is not just a shitty job market but shitty pay like everyone else is talking about. Lets be realistic here, people can't even get out of their parents houses until their close to 30 anymore (in Jersey at least). While the cost of living raises wages stay stagnant or raise enough to do absolutely nothing. Let us not pretend that everything is hunky dory because we believe in that little lie they tell us when we're growing up that "everyone can make it and everyone can fulfill the American dream) YEAH FREAKING RIGHT. AND if a person finds themselves saying "I made it" there are probably 1 million people that worked 10 times harder than they did and failed...and no the person who made it was nothing special, just like most of the other fruitcakes. Sorry sore subject, lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry sore subject, lol[/quote] haha, my roommate is from NJ right outside of NY and its always been that way. A bunch of mommas boys and people with little drive to get out of their parents house before they are 30. Its not that hard to move out. I know shit is expensive as hell out there, but it is completely possible. For many people here, it is embarrasing to be living with your parents past 18-21 years old. In NJ, it is so common that no one feels like they are underachieving in life by allowing themselves to live in their mommy's basement, or spare room. Harder to live on your own, yes. Difficult to live on your own if you have drive and determination, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have sold fine wines for a few years at the Party Source.[/quote] Maybe try to latch on to a wine distributer like Cutting Edge or others. Wine reps make pretty good money if they get some good accounts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BengalsOwn Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 Oh yeah, I read something a couple of days ago, and the Dayton Ohio area is in the top 10 of worst employment opportunities. I'm glad I'm tied down to this area with family and friends! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Actium Posted October 28, 2007 Report Share Posted October 28, 2007 [quote name='CatScratchFever' post='579087' date='Oct 27 2007, 10:38 AM']If lawyers lose so much in tort cases, why do they bother taking them? No one is forcing them to bring these suits.[/quote] That is precisely why those cases are dying and no one can get a job in those fields anymore, and why no one can get those cases taken. That's how it is in Texas because of Tort Reform. Ohio hasn't really changed yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChicagoBengal Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 Get your resume on all of the employment websites like Monster, etc... I realize that uprooting your family is definitely not an option, so exploring every option would be my recommendation. Also, get your resume in as many of the big corporations in the area as you can. The options within those organizations tend to be more wide ranging than the "mom and pop" joints. But I'm sure you already are acutely aware of that. Sadly, the healthiest job market even remotely close to you is probably Columbus which probably doesn't help you in this case. Good luck Bung.

But seriously, risks are easier to take if you don't have family depending on you. The need for a steady paycheck overrides taking that kind of risk. But assuming you find the perfect location, and the market isn't saturated in that area, it is possible to do well. If you understand that while you no longer have a boss, being the the boss every minute of every day can suck too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
