Article in the paper today of a job fair and an unemployed guy in his 30s with a degree in business said
He said he doesn’t want a job, he wants a career.
This is typical of many.
They think they are too good to start at the bottom
or do a job and keep their eyes open for something better.
These people are not motivated, no better than welfare bums
Amazing how you can always find someone to insult those down on their luck.
Did you even bother to read the article?
Sure hope it never happens to you.
My hubby who is 55 lost his job 10 months ago. 28 years at the same company, walk in on a Friday and you’re out. The 8 guys who were there the longest, pffft - gone in an instant. No severance, no thank you for 28 years.
Hubby is looking for anything, absolutely anything. Pounding the pavement every day for 10 months. He’s knocking on doors, not just submitting and online resume. Nobody is hiring a 55 year old guy. He applied as a fricking census taker and we’re waiting to hear back on that.
I took on a second job to make sure we could keep going. College tuition, mortgage ...you know the drill.
The market really sucks out there. Be grateful for what you have. And please don’t look down on others who are having a tough time.
