"McDonald's and the Home Depot are always hiring. Pizza delivery is also a good night time gig."

Not to pick on you, but to relate a story of an acquaintance:

A younger friend of mine graduated from college 8 or 10 years ago, had no serious prospects and finally took a job with Enterprise Rent-A-Car because no one else made him an offer.

Well, he drank the Kool-Aid, got with the program, made his dismal little office in East Porkchop successful and the company dragged him off to make him a supervisor. Now, at the age of 30 he's got a career. And if you ask him about it he get's all excited and won't shut up about Enterprise. Which suggests to me that he loves his job.

I, of course, envy and hate him now and hold him in contempt since he's happy, has found fulfilling work and has sold out to "the man"...

I rent from enterprise. It is a privately held company and everyone there is so gung ho and pleasant.

I call these jobs 'Sherwin-Williams jobs.' When I'd go to the job fairs,' poor old Sherwin-Williams reps would be sitting at their table as lonely as the Maytag repair man. Everybody was lined up for Anderson and Deloitte, etc.

However, I bet a gig at Sherwin-Williams pays the bills, puts you on the track to a nice management position and you can do worse things in your life than supply folks with paint.

I told my son not to overlook companies like this; there may not be a lot of glitz to them, but they're not bad jobs at all.
