Take the money you don't have from the job you don't have and move to an apartment you can't afford. Take up a hobby you don't like and can't pay for like cars or carpentry. Put yourself in huge amounts of debt because E/N doesn't understand how tough it can be to get a job straight out of college right now because they did it themselves during an easier time and bray the same insufferable bullshit over and over. But yeah be nicer to your parents.

waste of internet posted:I wanna know what type of industry the OP is trying to get involved with, before we start singin the economy blues. Seeing as he's said he's been applying everywhere and anywhere, even at minimum wage fast food jobs, it's fair.

ClemenSalad posted:Hes a volunteer secretary. Which he's trying and has tried to do. Minimum wage jobs aren't the easiest thing to come by right now because there is a huge pool of applicants and not nearly as many positions. It can take people months to find work, and it's frustrating how quick people are to blame the individual for being lazy. It's a terrible attitude to have towards the unemployed.

ClemenSalad posted:He's 22 his parents can't make him do anything at this point. If he was my kid he would either have a job, be in school (for something with prospects down the line), or out of my house at this age. And what if your kid was unemployed and had no money? They can't really go live on their own in that case. That's a big reality for a lot of people in their 20's right now. I live in Chicago, and I've known smart, college-educated people who have been applying to every place under the sun to get a job. It's not snobbishness. There just aren't enough minimum-wage jobs for people looking for something to do in the mean time.

ClemenSalad posted:He's just being a sarcastic rear end in a top hat thinking he's owning me or others in this thread. It's because people come into these threads wanting to pick on the OP based on no information whatsoever, built upon this deterministic concept that the unemployed just aren't trying hard enough to get a job. It's an attitude that is really hurting the young unemployed right now and it's due to people like you who have no idea what things are like. It's complete idiocy, clemen. house of the dad fucked around with this message at 21:47 on Feb 1, 2013 |

I'll shut up. I just don't think the OP should be made to feel bad for not having a job yet, and it does get my temper up.
