im currently looking for a new job closer to home.
ive been down to the HR dept in baltimore, about 3 blocks from the occupy baltimore, there are a ton of good paying jobs through the city and state. i also go to the maryland state and balt city websites.
alot of these 30-55k jobs dont require anything more than a GED, 1-2 years of accredited college or some basic background in HVAC, plumbing etc.
hell you can be an absolute complete idiot with zero experience and make about 32k right now as a cashier at the clerks office in the courthouse. be a compliance officer, a correctional officer making 45k a year, a police officer starting around 50k . . . . park ranger making 42k . .
im kinda limited b/c i need to find a job in the legal field but if i didnt have to find a job as an atty i easily could be making a comfortable living do something with a HS diploma.
edit - FD, the whole point i wanted to make before i went on my rant is i think the same thing every time i pass them. theres a stack of papers with about 100 job openings 3 blocks north of occupy baltimore waiting to pay people money..... i want to grap a stack and start handing them out to them.
double edit - hell, my pregnant lady takes a bus or walks a mile to work part time at 10 bucks an hour! i couldnt be more compassionate to the cause and helping people but cmon man, while maybe a few really do want to change the status qou (which is messed up), most seem like its just something to do and justify living that lazy sleep on the couch lifestyle. DONT BLAME PEOPLE LIKE ME B/C YOU LIKE SLEEPING IN AND HAVING A RESPONSIBILITY FREE LIFESTYLE! ya ****s! enjoy your life and your choices, ill enjoy mine and at the end of the day im not going to blame someone else for the choices i made.
