Re: [OT] Find a decent job
I imagine because of our worth less US Dollar, there must be a lot of low pay jobs opening up this summer related to tourism, food, travel, entertainment, and hospitality.
There is also a lot of Philanthropic foundation money being spent around town, so you might want to look into the not for profit organization sector for internships.
Of course anything related to Health care and Geriatric care services are expanding, however it's hard to get anything entry level without some specialized training or certification (mostly due to liability insurance issues) so if you look at the Social Services and Home Care parts of health care, you may find opportunities with low or no requirements.
One of the odd reasons you are seeing fewer internships is the people who used to offer them can't afford to share their work and micro manage newbies while they feel under threat of losing their own jobs. |

| Plenty of great jobs out there. I know loads of people who I met personally or have great keen awareness of in kind.
All of them have been very successful using highly advanced skillsets, with double degrees from school.
MD, JD, Masters, MBA, Graduate degrees.
The problem areas are the low end workers with very little skillsets and intellectual knowledge. For instance: Administrative assistants who make very little and have to carpool because of rising gas prices and can not afford to pay for gas. Its the workers on the bottom levels who get hurt and are unable to find work.
Every day I hear about a new success story. Just yesterday I was eating out at a local restaurant and overheard a person talk about his new job with a very prestigeous law firm and how he just bought a place with his wife.
Or I hear from someone at a huge growing organization or company who has so much work they can hardly get enough employees to fill the jobs.
I have heard this from multiple people. So yes there are plenty of jobs in the real world. But one should do what you love and what you enjoy, never let anyone else control your own destiny. |

| You still need to be able to be qualified to do the job.
Firms range from Computer/IT to Law firms which handle real estate foreclosures.
Its not just isolated to one individual firm.
Those who really want jobs and who really work to get them will get them.
Every second firms and people need employees to do the work that they can not fill.
