[QUOTE="Janx, post: 6231970, member: 8835"] You have my sympathies that you're stuck with that kind of job. ironic that I'm the bad guy here, when in the walmart hero thread, I pointed out how that guy was stuck (as the hero had said in the original article), and somebody else jumped on me that he had all the choices and opportunities in the world and it was his choice to settle for walmart. I ain't yer enemy. You may be in a vocation whose activity I despise, but I am not lobbying to shut down your livelihood. I merely would prefer a world where that activity did not exist. i also get life makes it hard to get out of a quagmire. People in those jobs would choose other stuff if the car didn't break down again, they got enough time off to interview, etc. For the record, one of the things I do with my company is find people with IT skills who have been stuck in crappy jobs at HEB and give them the chance to get a few years experience so they can qualify for the real gigs at Exxon, etc. I can only help one or two people at a time, and it's all through direct connection to people I know. But it helps. i also don't approve of outsourcing, as I feel it is bypassing America's labor laws by sending work to places where they don't have the same requirements and thus its cheaper. Plus, it's defeating keeping our talent and manufacturing ability here in the US. What're we gonna do when World War 2.5 kicks in with the people who make our stuff, and we don't have our own factories or know how to spin up making tanks and bombers? But you know, just as my desire to kill telemarketing would kill your current job. my desire to kill outsourcing would kill somebody else's job, like the project manager who has to do conference calls to India to see how the project is going. Every thing a person wants is at odds with somebody else's want. [/QUOTE]
