There Are Jobs, We Just Don’t Want You (as you are).
Man, can we be done talking about how much the job market sucks? For that matter, can we stop complaining about how the economy sucks as a whole? Is everyone missing the silver-lining here?
Now is the time to start a cooperative and buy some real estate. Now is the time to dump money in to stocks (actually, you might've missed the window on that). And more than ever, now is the time for you to stop looking for another (or your first) crappy 9-5 and take steps to have your dream job.
The articles I like reading today are the ones where people are quitting their job or doing foolishness.
Maybe I'm just naive and don't understand the severity of everything. However, the way I see it. No one is looking to pay you right now so you might as well do something you want to do since you're not eating anyway. Scale back, flip some burgers or wait tables to pay rent, and do something you love in the mean time. Either your side project will take off or someone will hit you back with a job offer.
If you got an opinion: comment and let me know. I think my dad's entrepreneurial blood has me jaded.

Agreed that this general time is a great time to get into the stock market, but CNN has told me that AIG recently went bankrupt, and the stock market just hit an all-time low (since 1997) this week. So, now is also a great time to jump into the stock market, but only if you’re gonna stay in for 10 years or more. my 2cents

I don’t know who started this “get rich quick” hit-and-run stock portfolio idea but it sucks. I’m a fan of buying stocks in something you believe in and then sitting on it.
Yeah, AIG has pretty much tanked. Like I was saying in the article, all that means is someone needs to step up and build a new (and better) AIG firm.
