Default " Job Section"

Hi community organizers do u guys think we need job section here. u know these day ppl get laid off, get fired, don't like the job or don't have a job, or looking for a new job, or moving to different places. there r so many circumstances. or we can talk abt how much we love and hate abt the job that we do in the job section. u know what i'm saying. jst out of curiosity. that's all. thanks

It would be nice during these tuff economic times we're living in.

I need a backup plan just in case I get laid off.

I have a BA in English and don't feel like teaching. Sad to say, but there's not enough money in education.

That's the bind my brother is in right now. He doesn't mind teaching but the salary sucks regardless of the down time and benefits. 45/yr for the rest of your life is not gonna make you rich!

I was fortunate to get a raise this year albeit tiny but still a raise none the less.

I had 2 options, stay in florida and recieve 3 months paid off and hope to find a job later or transfer to Houston...I chose Houston. All my friends have degrees and they're still getting laid off. BA's in Accounting, Public Relations, and Criminal Justice - didn't matter they're unemployed.
