Chronically Unemployed In The Modern United States?

[Gobbo]

The trick in life is finding a low competition avenue for employment where you can practice and become a master class at something that is needed, and not a lot of people do. For instance, I know a guy who owns a 1-ton truck and he operates a ‘rubbish removal service’ here in BC. I worked with this guy for a period of time, in fact. He works 4-5 hours a day. Makes around 150k a year. And he just goes around collecting things like fridges, stoves, and other assorted things that you cannot throw out, for anywhere from $50-500 depending on what is going on. Looking at this dude you wouldn’t think he enjoys a comfortable life, but he does. He found a niche and worked it. And this is a somewhat saturated industry here. There are chain services like ‘1800-Junk-It’ that are all over the place, and this guy still does well.
Or, you can do like I do, and pick the most competitive thing—like writing, lol—and practice endlessly until you, ever so slowly, advance to that master class status. You just have to know yourself, and the things that you are good at. I’m single, care more about skill and being a creative than money. You have a family and sort of need money immediately. I would look into some obscure thing that will have you working not a lot, and making a lot. That is easier said than done, but from how you are talking I get the feeling that you just want to ‘work’ — and that doesn’t separate you from anyone. The goal is to be unique, my friend.

What makes you think that I haven't checked Craigslist?

Remember a lot of these jobs requires expirience only or that you have your own tools on site.

Others require that you have a vehicle where it is non-negotiable.

A fucker, am I?

I do not very much like Craigslist though.

Maybe you have heard of the Craigslist killings or robberies in the past...

It is also a hotbed of scam artists and fraud.

lol fail.

CL is win.

There is a very uncertain feeling gowing down now: the reason there aren't any New Deals , frontierss going on is. The incentive was eaten up by the very banks which floated all the paper. So now, Europe, specifically Greece, will be a kind of litmus test of the limits of floating debt, and what limits and controls can be tolerated , and wheather these limits will stop the tide. Since not only mortgages can go upside down, whole economies can. This is where the system is in major trouble, because regulations and limits are just one part of the picture. The most important factor is the reseliency of the unemployed, and the disenfranchised who entail faith not only in the economy, but in the very process of democracy, of which we, the so called Western world are the gatekeepers . With that in mind :God Bless America. -the land still, of the free-est.

When Europe collapses so will the United States and the rest of the world with it also.

The divine comedy continues and I assure you that all hope is gone........

The world will awash in blood, chaos, and nightmare where the great hideous engineers will finally reveal themselves to enslave the world that is they will try to anyways...

Craigslist is about as close to Anarchy as a classified ad can get.

Craigslist is about as close to Anarchy as a classified ad can get.

Also filled with thieves, scam artists, and serial killers I do not really have the time to deal with especially in urban areas.

More trouble than what it is worth if you ask me.

I'm a writer, and I know what if I write enough, I will invariably get good at what I do. Just pick something and practice, practice, practice.
No offense, but if you showed an undeniable talent at something, you will get hired. That's how it works.

I do so admire your enthusiasm for the american dream but I don't agree myself.

Money, jobs & qualifications all work the same way in the following sense....
If a student scores 82% on a test and the national average is low the student gets a good grade, but if the national average is high he gets an inferior grade.
If you work and work and work for lots of money, and others don't work as hard you get rich; if they do you are less so.

So in essence I think that although, as you say, there is a lot the subject can do for themself, ultimately we shouldn't fail to factor in the ambition of others in a competitive system.
