And there ain't a damn thing you can do about it. Blame Bush and the Republicans for the Commoditiy Futures Modernization Act or Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats for suing banks not giving people sub-prime mortgage loans. So much finger pointing. Blah blah blah.
Whatever. I don't care. All I know is that in a time when people desperately need jobs or at the very least to keep the ones they have, there is no job security. None.
Remember Ken Karpman? No? Ken Karpman was a CEO who made $750,000 a year. Ken now makes $7.50 an hour delivering pizza.
If you asked me three years ago,I would tell you I'd rather run across a minefield than deliver pizza or work at a fast food place. But now I can't really afford to be proud. Education, one of the biggest instruments in determining the success rate in the working world is no longer a variable.
My sister-in-law and one of my good friends, the marvelous Miss M, is a brilliant designer, experienced and well educated. She could ordinarily get a job wherever she wanted. In this market, however, she has to wait until something opens up. So unfortunate...and infuriating. Hopefully, I can post some of her amazing designs later so you can see what I'm talking about. Ciao bellas.
