Lookin for Work Blues

[Needfull Thing]

Ok so I have been looking for work for a while now, unsuccessfully. I know that by and large Literotica is full of educated professional sorts, or people who own their own business or are retired or independently wealthy or work from home.

But are there any other losers out there who can't seen to find a job anywhere near decent, where you live? I'm in South-east Missouri and unless you want to work in a factory for about 6-8 dollars an hour, you're out of luck.

Let me hear from anybody else who has the Lookin for work blues. Lets hear your story guys, tell me I'm not alone.

I see your problem here, you see yourself as a loser??

Its a bit different here for me I guess, I have a job etc, but there was a time a while back when things were not too good, but I think the thing is to keep spirits up and never say never...

I for one have plans, now if when I move, I have to start out somewhere flipping burgers, so be it, hell I'll not even bother to tell the employer I am leaving if I find a better job, I'll start right away

Now if you carry on looking for a better deal, take the 6-8 bucks an hour and use it to tide you over, something is better than nothing right??

One lil' thing you might want to keep in mind is that almost all masculine types that post on the Interweb are successful business men ...

Apart from that, all I can do is echo and agree with Golden_Silence; keep plugging away.

[Caution!! Patronising part of post coming up]​

When I was sixteen/seventeen, at 05:30am I'd swing by the café where the sub-contractors picked up their employees and just wander around, asking if anyone needed an extra labourer, just for a day. Nine times out of ten, I'd end up cleaning the toilets on a construction site for far less than the minimum wage in the Uk today, but that one time I'd make enough to pay the rent.

Purely because I'm curious ... if I gave you £5 ($10, or so) at a job interview and said, "Go out and get me a present." What would you do?

Now THIS fascinated me. I thought long and hard about this. I even asked other people what they would do. My mother said hand you back the $10 and say "Here, there's a present for ya" My brother said to refuse the money, as it was a trick. But I operated under the assumption that you would really want me to try and use that money to get you something. So I would reach into my pocket and get my last $5 and hand it back to you, along with your ten, look you in the eyes and say;

"And that is the investment you would be making. More money back, every time."

Which is easier said than done, but you have to give me points for bullshit.
