Yeah, I feel you. It's sad how our country lack employments.

nope, theres work everywhere here and no shortage of $$$
i think even if the economy slows down cosiderably, i should still have my job..

I work for a mortgage company but we haven't been hit yet by the crisis. That's cause we are an offspring of the Rabobank (A big dutch bank), and they haven't made any big moves that hurted them.
I'm doin great, they are gonna pay for my next education and I can grow higher up

Everywhere you go, they want you to be 18+ wit a High School Diploma or a GED. In 4 months a kid will have both of those, until then, they don't want to hear shit. Like it's a big fuckin' difference. 18. It's a number, men. That's it. And I'm just lookin' for a simple 9 to 5 Burger King / Retail Store / Whatever full time, at least $7/800 paycheck. I never thought it'd be hard.

Hopefully by the time I get my college degree, the economy will be on the rebound. Untill then, I work a recession-proof job: liquor store clerk. ;D The store where I work is actually about to expand because of the increase in sales.

i wonder how this recession will affect the mentality of the generation Y workforce. i hope they all get a kick up the ass.

well i'm pretty sure i'll be able to keep my job as long as i don't rape a customer or something, but i'm tryint to move out to San Diego and it's not looking good out there. It's like i posted in another thread, they want you to have 10 years experience and have a Ph.D. for a fucking county garbage man job (joke). But shit is whack right now. i'll be the most educated Shift Leader in the world by the time i find something else.

I know it sucks. That's pretty much why I don't really use monster.com or etc.

Lucky, my job is very safe no matter how the economy is doing.
My mutual funds took a big hit, lost 15% in the 3rd quarter. I was going to cash out and invest in real estate but it looks like I'll have to ride out the storm now. On the other hand, I have a bunch of money in USD currency and it's really rising in value vs. the Canadian dollar so I making up a big amount of value there.

Being born in 1985 myself, I was fortunate enough to have a good work ethic instilled in me. I spend too much money still, but never more than I actually have, and my bills are always paid on time and in excess. It helps that everything is expensive as hell so people of my generation will learn the value of a dollar. I'm glad gas prices are dropping though. $2.79 is the cheapest I've seen recently, but most are around $2.85.
-
What the fuck>? 2.79 gas??? I haven't seen anything lower than 3.85 for over a year
-
I found out at work we may get become a 4 day work week. I work for a customs house broker. We clear shit into the country. With the insane fuel prices we had the past 6 months to a year people ship less into the country so less for us to clear. Now with the credit freeze our whole industry works on letters of credit. So if no one can get the credit they need even less stuff gets shipped into the country. So our whole industry is taking a pounding right now. My uncle has been in the same business for 40 years and he even says this is the slowest he has ever seen it. Though it may be a blessing in disguise. If I get cut to 4 days a week maybe I can go back to school and for the first time in my life my school my number one priority instead of some crappy job.

yeah i was born in 84 and i have a good work ethic also (i think it has alot to do how i was raised, my folks were not rich and i always had to work for what i have). but alot of my colleagues expect everything to be given to them on a golden platter... maybe this will teach them a thing or two and create a better generation in the workforce.

To all the posters:
Is it hard to get a job in the USA for European man? I mean when I'll have the High School Diploma with economy sight? Not college, just a high school. I don't know how the USA accept the immigrants from European Union. Green card and shit? I'm still a student and I wanna move after the high school.
Just tell me something about it, thanks a lot.

find a job through online before you come here.

Thanks for an advice.
I'm gonna check it. My next question: ''Is it possible to make some very good $ out there?'' I just don't know if I go on college or not. Cause our colleges are different with yours. So it's possible that I'll waste some time here on a college and my profession in the USA will be still on high school level. Do you know what I mean?
I don't want to live in the USA because of money, but because of beauty which is there.
And leaving a job mean leaving the USA too?

Money in USA is okay..it's not bad, but you got to work hard to get good money. If you're worrying about education, don't be. College is college.
-
In our country, people usually make more money with college education. Usually, it's not a rule. Is it similar in the US? I understand college is college and education is education, no doubt. But I want to leave my country ASAP.
I'm not a criminal, but I want to go to another place. Not post-communist state, where I live ;).

I make $11/hr for entry level stuff. I could most definately be making more without a college education, but I wanted to get into something with computers, and that pretty much requires a degree unless I was a super nerd.
And don't worry too much about finding a job in America. Most places will hire someone with a green card because it gives them a tax break and looks good on their demographics. Expect to barely scrape by until you find out what you really want to do for a career. It's sad, but kissing management ass helps too.

I found one of my jobs online. Needless to say, it was one of the worst jobs I have ever had. But checking out what places are looking for people online is a good way to gauge the needs of the market. Whether or not a person will actually get that job is a whole different story.
BTW, gas is now down to $2.75 here ;D

With the abundance of Fortune 500 companies within stones throw of my house, I fail to see the lack of opportunity. It's not like I live in the Iron Range or the Boundary Waters. The Twin Cities is always poppin'.

You guys pay more because of taxes. Plus, we have a massive refinery 50 miles outside of the Twin Cities, and we get our oil from Canada which is only 5 hours away. It's less overhead because there is less transport involved.

You aren't the first, and probably won't be the last. I still get crap for the "Minnesota accent" from the movie Fargo. And no, we don't talk like that. lol

I thought I was fine after losing my job in july, Every month I would survive doing web design jobs here and there, helping friends out with events, djing on the weekends...I was doing ok, paying all my bills, surviving, but this month I have taken a big hit, really nothing coming thru at all, and It doesnt help that a lot of people still owe me $. I have been looking for a steady full time job since july and I have yet to find anything. It Sucks.
