My personal motto in life is, “Don’t quit your job until you find another one.”

Or have become independently wealthy. Or, as Bob Brinker likes to put it, have achieved critical mass.

Smiling at you...yep.

“Virtual Career Fair Exclusively For Veterans and Disabled Veterans
Meet with up to 75 industry leading employers without ever leaving home”

SNIPPET: “(Vocus/PRWEB ) February 23, 2010 — Milicruit and Hire Heroes USA has partnered to offer a free virtual career fair exclusively for veterans. With the Milicruit fully interactive virtual technology, veterans and employers can meet online without the need or expense of travel.

The Inaugural event will take place on April 29th, and will include up to 75 industry leading employers such as Verizon, Comerica, US Navy, Wellpoint, Target, Ryder, Stryker and dozens more.

“With over 500,000 veterans between the ages of 18 and 64 unemployed according to the bureau of Labor Statistics www.bls.gov and with over 20,000 soldiers leaving active duty each month, we felt compelled to build a first class virtual career fair environment that would give more access to more employers to our veteran community. Many of our veterans have spent years in battle and they should not have to fight for a civilian job when they return,” says Kevin O’Brien CEO, Milicruit”

Instead of waiting for salaried jobs to come back, most people should mentally accept that once laid off, the old job is never coming back. Obviously this is tough to do, as humans aren’t really programmed that way.

...but employers are currently *swamped* with hundreds of resumes per day for any salaried job opening; if you get hired into a salaried job today, this year, or within the next 5 years, you have essential won the job lottery. Most people won’t be so lucky. Mailing off your resume is roughly the same as buying a lotto ticket; very similar odds now.

So what to do instead of emailing thousands of resumes...or instead of giving up and eating chips on your couch all day long?

Make your own job. Not business. Job.

Fish. Sell your catch. Pan for gold in national parks. Cut firewood and sell it at the local farmers’ market. Recycle aluminum cans. Drive a taxi. Buy a tow truck.

Put an ad up on Craigslist.org that you will haul large trash away and clean up property (foreclosed homes all require this service).

Learn locksmithing (vacant, foreclosed homes need their locks changed).

Teach firearms safety. Baby sit kids. Teach swimming. Teach sailing. Be the local parasail guy. Teach surfing. Scavenge tires from tire store discard piles.

Grow/sell veggies. Be a sharecropper. Be a share-rancher (e.g. run cattle on someone elses land by paying them a grasslease fee).

Make your own job. Grab a metal detector and walk the beach. Search for treasure.

Grow your own bio-diesel and sell your surplus. Get the proper permits and make your own moonshine or beer. Ditto for tobacco; grow your leaves, dry them, age them, then handroll specialty cigars.

Make your own job.
