i had no misconceptions about schooling and a job. there was never any connection to me. still i went to college full and part time for almost seven years to receive an aa degree. i spent the next 33 years in retail which was always a safety net when there was no real jobs. i watched the end of good jobs in retail but the clues started in the seventies. now its no longer a safety net - its for desperate slaves and abusing mgrs. they does not intend to pay a living wage.

@kingkong3601 Yep, you are right, maybe it IS slavery... But maybe you should wait till you've compared notes with somebody who has ACTUALLY been a slave before you decide who is better or worse off. Personally, I wouldn't mind busting my gut every day as long as I had a degree of security - not having to worry about paying the bills, what'll happen if the recession gets worse etc. There's nothing more terrible than being constantly uncertain about the future.

@kingkong3601 I seem to be hearing a lot of stories about people who are getting asked (or told!) to continue working the same hours at the job, for substantially reduced pay, or working fewer hours, with still reduced pay. I myself have recently had 10% taken off my pay-rate... for no discernible reason! (P.S. I was bottom minimum wage to begin with, so that's *technically* illegal.) What I want to know is, why aren't we hearing about any bankers who are getting the same treatment? Huh???

Between September 2007 and may 2009 it accually cost me $28,000 to work at my old job. This is all while living in a tiny one bedroom apartment. Thats not work it's slavery. No I take that back, it's worse than slavery. At least slaves don't have to pay to be slaves. What a sorry state we are in as a society.
Smart brother--real quick--if you worked for chrysler....would you ride it out or take the buyout? even if u would get 2 1/2 years of unemployment and 24k for school if you stayed...vs..$47k cash--$24k for school & $25k for a car. U seem to know alot about the economy, just wanted to pick your brain(use it-lol)

I don't offer financial advice, but if I worked for Chrysler (and was union), I would ride it out. Maybe you can get into an engineering program at a university.
The car is useless. Nobody is buying cars or trucks. If they give you 25k for something move useful, that might help.

If you ride it out, you can't get unemployment. Why not let the feds bail Chrysler out a couple more times...keep you employment for a year or so, collect unemployment for 2 or so years and use the 24,000 to for engineering classes at a community college. Then you can use the money you save and Obama's stimulus money (education expansion) to pay for the last two years at a university.
