And so did my wife, luckly since then we both have new jobs.

I am starting to not like my current sales job. I have been browsing the internet for jobs, and WOW, there is not much out there right now. I thought October 2008 was bad, but there is not poo out there now.

Kinda makes me want to bust my ass, being that the economy sucks so bad!

I graduated with a 4 year degree in computer science. I applied for at least 20 jobs and only got called for one interview with the Social Security Commission. They wanted to hire me but did not have funding for the position that they needed filled. After five months of being unemployed with no other offers, I took a job with the state getting paid way less than I ever thought I would with a four year degree.

Glad you and the wife found jobs... Good luck to everyone else that are still looking!

I heard it was pretty slim out there. My company has laid off over 40 good workers just this year alone. Before therecession, they would have been able to take a job with the competition.

I wish all of you the best of luck.

I have been working on a plan to stay employed through these hard times.

Drugs and prostitution are always recession-proof, right?

On a positive note, I was visiting one of my customers down in the Houston area. They manufacture gantry robots and LGVs. All the jobs they have been quoting for the last year are starting to come to fruition and they are actually looking to hire. We've seen the numbers in the lift truck market stabilize and start to trend upward. Nothing drastic, but getting better. On the flip side, I visited a bunch of customers over the last two weeks that are still sucking wind.

Good luck to all of you. I'm in sales and feel fortunate to still have a job. It's like walking on thin ice these days though.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
