While I'm sure there are some that exist, I've never seen a company deny someone the opportunity to cross train. If others were cross trained, you likely could have taken the initiative to get yourself cross trained as well.

Cross training would have been two weeks in another state. They said no when I asked about it.

Edit: Hubby was a PhD student in the middle of his dissertation at the time. Not exactly conducive to working as anything more than what he was doing already, being a research assistant. As it was, he wasn't taking out any student loans because he's insane like that, and so he lived like a pauper and actually managed to have enough money for a down payment on a house saved up after he was done. If he was in charge of the US budget, the dept of education and dept of defense budgets would probably be swapped, though.

As for "more than a couple days between jobs" we're not talking about flipping burgers here or hawking clothes at Belks. Any old job is not the same as the career oriented, full time with salary position I had before, and which I finally landed again five months later.

Is this post a good example of the conservatism you're trying to sell us, or have you been slacking on your meds again?

That's a seriously snobby statement. Any old job can take you up a ladder to a salaried position if you're so inclined to climb it. Even them ignorant disdainful hard working burger-flipping, clothes hawking, associate degreed middle-americans may be career oriented ambitious individuals.

That's right a job is a job. So tell me what did you do those 6 months besides sitting on your fat ***? Some of us would rather work at mcdonalds flipping burgers rather take a govn handout. You and your husband used the system like so many other leeches. And now you actually think taxing the wealthy along with the middle class is a way to afford others the opportunity you had. The soimple fact is if you taxed the wealthy 100% of their wealth we have would be able to survive one maybe two months before going bankrupt. It's your attitude that if times get hard it's ok to take govn handouts. So yeah I'm asking people to take responsibility for themselves and family. If you two couldn't survive your husband should have quit school and got a job until he could.

This country is lost. Literally at least half the population think they are entitled to others property. This is obama phone lady is a microcosm of the festering disease that is liberalism.


ITT: Unemployment insurance that companies pay into as part of payroll taxes is a government handout when it is dispersed back to the citizens for whom it is collected.

As for what I did for five months, besides submit around 200-300 job applications, edit the crap out of my resume daily, and start studying for the GRE because it was clear my BA wasn't going to be enough? I played video games. I freely admit it. Cheap entertainment.

seems to me like Crazy Legs is confusing a job, with a job that allows one to live.

I can tell you right now a part time job at MCD's is not going pay enough to raise a family, let alone buy a house, buy a car, put food on the table every night, have required amenities such as phone and internet. It doesn't work.

A job is not a job.

If this is someone playing the Varus schtick: congratulations, you've managed to emulate an even more boring version of Varus.

If this is Varus: You're off your game, old sport.

Either way, you're boring enough that I don't even care which you are.
