    I still think alot of people are a shame to do certain things/type of jobs.. in the situation we are right now, anything is great.
    This is absolutely the truth. My sister was a mortgage underwriter making about $45k a year. After losing her job she had job offers in the $30k range but chose to stay unemployed because she felt the wages were beneath her.

    Yes because being a minority gives you so much of an advantage in getting a good job.

    Personally, I saw this coming and adjusted accordingly. The writing is on the wall when you see corporations restructuring, its no longer about the worker it is about the profit so job security is not there, you have to look out for yourself. There are opportunities out here but people have to get creative about it and show some initiative, right here on IA I see it in the wall street section. The same 4 people are active in the stock tip thread (wish it was a section *hint hint*) and we share ideas on opportunities that are out here to make money in the stock market. One person netted $17k profit in a week from information they shared yet its still the same 4 or 5 people posting.

    I will just say this, when times are good (stock market boom, real estate boom) that is the time to be cautious because the bubble will eventually burst. When times are bad (NOW) this is where the opportunities begin, right now is when new wealth is obtained simply because someone had a positive outlook while everyone else is complaining. Instead of blaming the president who has no bearing on your day to day wealth take some ownership, get your head out your ass and venture out of the whoreslounge every so often and spend some time on something that will actually pay dividends, its simple. I guarantee one of those 4 or 5 people in the stock tip thread will not require a day job ever again in 3 years.

    Just watch the thread as it develops, 3 years was me being generous.. the person I'm talking about (not me) I'm expecting it to be more like a year and a half at the most.
