All these threads suck...trying to think of ways to revive...
get a job hippie.
learn a new skill
like anything you're interested in. You don't have to go to school to learn stuff.
I taught myself how to program, run websites, and SEO. and look were we are today... we have a website that i run and manage pretty dang well and i work as an SEO consultant.
degree what?
what do YOU want to do?

Haha, asshole. I'm trying hard. I've tried everything. Sold Honda for a week...hated it. I was getting licensed to sell for NY Life...decided it sucked and I don't like commission only. Worked as a Marketing Assistant for three weeks but was more of an assistant than a marketer. I need to make a fucking salary and work a steady 40-100 hours a week. I am fucking married. There are expectations. FML
Also, I applied to Access like three times and have yet to hear back. Ironically, what they do is what I would LOVE to do. Creative, tangible product, all that shit. I love marketing and PR. It is intriguing to me.
Like what? I have thought of getting an associates in electrical engineering just to make myself more marketable. No one wants to hire a career business student with no good work experience. Also, there is so much tech/defense manufacturing and development in Southern NH and Northern MA that it would be to my benefit to have a technical proficiency...
there are jobs out there. you just have to be willing to take them. sounds like you just didn't want to do the jobs you had.
anybody who can walk and talk can get a job right now. you just have to be willing to take them. remember the saying, "any port in a storm". when times are bad, just paying the bills is good enough.
If you want to own a bar/restaurant, get out there and do it.
Look for retail space for rent
get a possible menu together with recipies/etc
get a beer list together
research liquor permit laws in your area
find/research possible investors
draw up a business plan
research wholeslae accounts for food and beverage, local micro breweries, etc
sitting on your ass bitching about it does nothing.
And if you think owning a restuarant is not a 100hr a week job, you're in for a rude awakening....
So I take ANY job, knowing that it will not last and risk having the rug pulled out from under me again?
i wouldnt' do that. however, i would take whatever job gets me income and then keep looking for something better with any spare second i get. you have no loyalty to an employer precisely for your reason listed above. they can cut you at any time. well, you can cut them too if something better comes along.I challenge you to quit your job and try to find another one right now.
I have talked to a lot of HR people recently and they are getting 300+ applicants for basic retail jobs and upwards of 1000 applicants for more professional jobs. The job markets are flooded with qualified people....
It's easy to be like "just get a job, duh?" when you already have one. Trust me. I didn't believe anyone was jobless until I became that guy...
join the military? yeah whatever guy!
yes, because you have bills to pay and shit to do. it's better to have a job you might lose than no job at all.
i know that there are a lot of jobless people. but the thing is, YOU have to make a decision to turn it around. like B said, learn a skill.
A)go to school. you can take some classes. it's better than playing video games and playing on hondaswap. and don't say money isn't an option. you can get grants and loans.
B) learn some skills. you can apply for an apprenticeship. hell, you can learn some programming and computer skills. all you need is a book. you can go to a library for free, or you can buy some books at barnes and noble or borders. and if you have absolutely $0, steal one. hey, it's wrong, but how bad do you want to change your life.
C) for anybody under 30 and healthy, join the military. pays for school, it's easy to do, and you get money.
