Members Thunderbroom Posted April 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 And folks that are unemployed still continue to complain about there being no good jobs. While I am fortunately employed I would totally go after one of these jobs if I was un/underemployed. Just mentioned these opening to my students, some of whom are unemployed. From one or two of them I heard something along the lines of, "I'm not gonna work in no warehouse for scratch waiting on one of these driver jobs. Eff that."

I worked in a warehouse for a couple years & thought it was pretty chill... As long as you don't mind lifting stuff. Plus you get to drive a forklift!

Members Renfield Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 "I'm not gonna work in no warehouse for scratch waiting on one of these driver jobs. Eff that." As a teacher (prof?) I bet a part of you died when you heard that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thunderbroom Posted April 8, 2010 Author Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 As a teacher (prof?) I bet a part of you died when you heard that too. I am a full, tenured professor (that's what we got in our last contract vice nice pay raises!). When I heard those folks say that, in part, it removed any doubt as to why they are unemployed. I used to feel like that but now just realize that there are folks like this and that these particular people shouldn't use me as a reference.

Members WillPlay4food Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 I worked UPS for awhile. Definitely good pay, but it was part time work from 10PM-2AM. Lots of coffee flavored packages coming from south Floriday heading to Fairfield county every day too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wades_keys Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 And the dock work is back-breaking hell for up to 10 years, all union seniority based - plus everyone is hanging on for a truck route to open up or someone to retire/die. The truck is the carrot for the cart of the real workforce. ^ THIS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gspointer Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 Hell I am getting a bit old but if I were unemployed I would get a job doing pretty much anything. I have had a few truly crappy jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bassthumpintwin Posted April 8, 2010 Members Share Posted April 8, 2010 74,000 for a driver job? {censored} me sideways, why do I even bother being skilled? Hey, apparently it takes a lot of skill to open your truck door and walk a package an average of 15-20 yards to a person's front door. At least that's what I assume, since 90% of the UPS drop offs I've gotten delivered to my current residence rarely make it past the top of my mailbox, or the front of my garage door. I can't tell you how many packages I've found sitting next to my mailbox on top of the newspaper box. Including my iPhone 3gs in the middle of sleet/snow storm. I wouldn't have even known I'd gotten it had I not happed to look up the status and then go check my mailbox when it wasn't at the door. Also, rig haulers have the ability to make upwards of 70-75k/year, but you really gotta put in the long hours and own your own rig, from what I understand. Not a job I would want. Although, right now, (laid off for 7 months), I'd gladly take just about anything that paid the bills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
