An interview at Ross

Well don’t let agoraphobia hit you on the way out the door


Hotwater

 

The interview went pretty well, though I hate to talk about myself and why I should get the job. Ugh.

Anyway, the interview made me sad because my last job was $16 an hour and now I am applying for a job for $8 an hour. So that is a little sad. And I doubt anyone dreams of getting a Botany degree and then working for minimum wage in retail.

But at this point, I am grateful for whatever comes my way.

 

hehe...we should trade places. I love to stay in the house!

 

Yea, that's what I meant.

 

antithesis, I would love to trade for a week. LOL I hate retail.

My problem is I can not work right now. It sucks.

I wouldnt mind a desk job at all. too bad, most places arent hiring.

 

Do you have Canadian citizenship by chance?

 

No, why?

 

mimimum wage here is $10.50 an hour I think now.

 

whatup w/ useless degrees.. i mean for real how are you going to get a good job w/ a degree in religion, philosophy etc.. i cant even google "how much does a philosopher make in a year"

 

There are those who want to do what they want to do in life, and those who do what they have to in order to make a decent living. There's nothing wrong with either, except that the first category are using forced to conform by the powers that be by means of unemployment, poverty, etc.

 

I don't know, but none of those are my degrees so I don't care.

In California the minimum wage is $8

 

Good answer!

I don't care as much about the money as the fact that retail is the complete opposite of everything I enjoy. But it is really the only legitimate job around here other than food service.

 

Fuck it, I'd start dealing. Just don't get caught until 2012, maybe 2013, you should be fine :2thumbsup:

 

Well, I do have a side job that is not dealing... but is related to dealing. However, it is nice to have a job that you can tell people about, like family.

 

uh if u get a degree in philosophy or religion u r still going to be hard up for a job. how much do a liberal artist make

 

I can completely sympathize with this. I've always wanted to write for a living, but unfortunately that is such a bleak career (always sort of has been with the exception of Shakespeare) that I have to find other means of making a living. Due to the nature of the city in which I live along with my education, making a living usually includes degrading work for some corporation which is against my morals completely, but what can I do? I have to eat.


At any rate, I'd rather be poor but happy, doing what it is that I love to do in life. As opposed to working some shit job that makes me want to blow my brains out just so I can make above 45K a year so that I can afford to lease a Honda and rent a condo.

 

Life isn't just about getting some corporate job. Some people get an education for educations sake and there is nothing wrong with that.

 

You should definitely keep trying to write for a living... who knows, you could be famous someday :sunny: And even if you are not, reading is my passion so I am all for having as many writers out there as possible!

 

Yea, to be honest I'm mostly going to school for the experience and the opportunity. I know I'll never have a lot of money in life and I don't want a lot of money in life. Money just distracts people from what really matters in life. Sure, we need a bit of it to pay the bills, but happiness can't be bought (so cliche but so true). I'm never happy unless I'm doing what it is I love to do.

I'd be a complete miserable wreck if I had some shitty office job just to earn money, to be honest I'd rather be homeless and free from the money grip. That isn't life, earning money isn't life either, happiness is life. When we die, all that matters is if we had a good time, your bank account doesn't mean shit in the end.

 

This made me lmao you bastard! I fucking hate you! :biggrin:
