My employees work out of their own homes ... the commute is to their home office. If someone has one years experience in mortgages or two years in (non-retail) sales, we will talk to them. There is opportunity out there. My late father told me that even in the depths of the depression successful salespeople had money.
Well, yeah. 25% unemployment means 75% are employed. The problem is that "English majors" like Dan think they are above selling men's wear for a living. They will learn otherwise, if things follow the likely trajectory.
