Then who would you blame, AuntyM? Tell me that. Who's fault is it? Where do you point the finger? Get a clue and realize that life ain't fair....

And let me also ask you, would you hire someone who wasn't able to market themselves well enough over a two year old span to secure employment, even at the least flipping patties at Jack in the Crack? I sure as sh!t wouldn't.

I know plenty folks who have lost their jobs in this economic downturn, some due to performance and some due to the financial constraints of the company due to the economic downturn. Some have landed back on their feet, some haven't. Those that have deserved it due to the effort and work they put in to finding a job.

It wasn't easy for me being a college grad to find an entry level position. I called people I knew, asked for meetings, introduced myself and did my best to network, went into businesses and offered my resume and tried to present myself as a hire-able person. Guess what, I have a job. Does it pay well? No. Do I like it? Not really. Nor do I envision myself spending the rest of my working career in this particular field..... But hey, its a job, I have things far better than many other humans on this earth and I'm thankful for my employment.

But hey, if I was to follow Ranty's lead, by this point if I was unemployed I'd be qualified to become an "occupier" and b!tch about the lack of jobs and cite statistics about the lack of jobs available per unemployed. Personal responsibility is lacking, and many folks need to sack up and take matters into their own hands to find a job instead of looking for some excuse as to why they aren't employed.


No. Where did I say that? Start thumbing through all my posts if you got the time. You *try* and draw such far fetched parallels to make conclusions about someone in an attempt to belittle them and make yourself sound witty, but you just end up making yourself sound completely mental...
