I have two college degrees and I can’t find a job.
How am I to pay for government giveaways to baby boomers when baby boomers won’t hire me?
Just another day in Obamaland. :)
I was training to operate an analyst workstation on imaging flights over the Gulf oil spill untill Obama went for that photo-op swim in Pensacola Bay (part not affected by the spill) to send a message to the Coast Guard he wanted the Oil Spill off the front page. Coast Guard cancelled our contract and I was laid off. No one wants a 60-yr old programmer anymore.
Far East is looking for Americans to teach English. You do not have to know the language of host nation, because the students you teach cannot speak in their native language. The contract is usually one year with room and board. Some Americans stay after several years because the Far East is where most of the wealth of the world is transferring to, and with it job and business opportunities. Worth checking out. If you are young and not averse to living in a foreign country for one year, check out the opportunity.
If one of your degrees is a master’s, check the local community college. Here in the D/FW area, the CC systems are paying between $34 - $40 per classroom hour, the schedules are flexible, the vacations are unpaid and frequent, and the schools definitely need more conservative instructors. If you can tolerate being a state employee w/o benefits.
Well, there's your problem. You know too much. You're over qualified ;-)
