I'm feeling weary.
It's been 9 months since I graduated from college. I can't find a job making more than 38k a year in anything aside from what I'm trying to get away from. I'm going to make 45k this year as a local trucker. I can actually do much better than that driving a truck. I think I can get a job making 60k a year and being home most nights.
At this point, I don't know what else to do. The job market is telling me to stay a trucker. I can't afford to take a job for less than what I am making now.
If I could get on at a larger company, I might be able to get on driving a truck for them with the possibility that my degree and a little time with the company might work into an inside position that pays well. I tried that with my current employer, but it's a small family-owned place with very low turnover in the office. They just don't need anyone else there.
I think that's my best strategy, anyway. If I pursue it, I'll also have to sell my wife on it. For some reason, she's terribly afraid on me switching jobs even though we aren't getting anywhere financially where I am now.
It's your oconomy, primitives.

He is owning it.
The purpose of his OP is to brag about making nearly a thousand bucks a week.
Not many of the DUmp's loony bin all-stars are doing that well.

You'd think he'd manage to upgrade his wardrobe beyond a pair of overalls.

I seem to recall him posting the exact same shit a couple 3 or 4 months ago. Woe is Tubbins.
Hey Tubbs? How is that O'Conomy doing for ya? You support the people that create the job environment that exists today. I have no sympathy. Sucks to be you. I hope you freeze to death this winter when the global warming kicks in.
Funny how everyone here seems to be doing all right. Wonder why that is, Tubbs?
Hey I got an idea!!! How about you come over and ask for some advice from people that... oh I don't know... actually prosper? Instead of losers?
5 cents please.
