>> Get down to the marinas and start washing boats. The standard rate for boat cleaning is $3.50 per foot. You NEVER run out of clients.
The trouble is, too damn many people are looking for “a job”. “A job” is a salary and health care benefits and paid vacation and life insurance and an office or a cube or a truck and so on and so forth, all tied up with a neat little bow... little or no thought as to what you’re expected to DO, or how EXACTLY it will BENEFIT the BOTTOM LINE of your employer and keep THEM in business.
It used to be — back in the depression — people didn’t go out to seek jobs. They went out to seek WORK.
How quaint! No one looks for WORK anymore (like washing a boat). It’s beneath them. They’re holding out for a JOB.
Jobs are scarce, but as you point out, there is plenty of WORK for those with the grit and determination to find it.
Good post, I like it.
A job IS work bonehead! Try working in a chicken factory or a chemical plant and tell me it isn’t. What is this BS that some freepers spew about us not wanting to get our hands dirty? Maybe you will be out of a job soon. Then it will be our turn to ridicule.
