I am working on a Visa to work in China and it is so damn hard and the process can take months. I have no choice but to take my skills out of the country. Once you lose an entire skilled workforce you lose it for good. It's over folks.

working is part of the bamboozle quicker this reality sinks in to the brain cells, pain goes away, this was setup create work for taxes, continue slavery..

Aint that the truth.....I'm headed back to school next year to get a teaching certification and pursue a Master's in Education. Where I'm at teachers are pretty in demand and look like stable work. But just in the meantime, finding a part time job to save up some money has NOT been easy. This is just looking for minimum wage jobs.....so it's really tough out there. I'm 7 months unemployed at this point.

@getalife67 I still think a lot of older people don't know how to manage their budgets. Jobs don't last forever nad you shouldn't extend yourself financial. Young people don't know the idea of working and expect things just to happen to them. I am in the young and educated boat. I got lucky and ust got a job, but I feel sorry for those who didn't prepare or who not received a legit job offer.

@getalife67 No it's not. It doesn't say that anywhere in the Bible.

i believe anything after the 1980's that was the last of the true generation, ever since the late 1990's the new generation kicked in and started the new wave of employment and jobs, and did my homework on this, and teens today want high paying jobs not working at the bottom and working there way up they won't do that, today's generation of new workers and business owners are greedy idiots that's today's America. people are voting for the wrong people.

I,m a 42 year old computer tech. i was fresh out of school in 2010 i landed only one temp position in 2010 after that nothing it's sad that i live in America an honest working person for years and now america stabs me in the back, i had a theory 7 years ago that the NEW generation of company owners, managers, CEO's will be run by greedy lazy kids that want to make big bucks but do as little as possible and with less staff so he gets a bigger kick back guess what it happening

People should be creative & do what i did. 4 years ago i was unemployed. i noticed how easily churches got money from their congregation, & tax-free status from the government, so i started a Christian ministry. Now i have 200 people in my congregation, all giving me money. Some even sign over their welfare checks, lol! See my channel.
