Wow, jobs are hard to find? I put some work on the front side and in my first attempt to look for employment found one in two weeks that met up with my qualifications. I'm certain had I looked even harder, I could have found something with even better pay, but I really just wanted to gage where I was and maybe get my feet wet a little.
My husband just commented the other day at all the help wanted signs in the window. In Ohio, no less with our crappy economy. They aren't union jobs, but as far as unskilled labor goes, there are quite a few and most job I've ever worked has potential to move up if one works hard and can behave like a civilized human being with their customers and clients.
It's not pathetic, DUmmies...It may be simplistic, but combined with a handful of other things, it is good advice. Perhaps more accurate is 'Want to BEGIN to end poverty? Get a job!'
