hey believe me I wish I could just go right back to New Jersey or New York where I grew up and where I spent 40 plus years trying to make ends meet with the advanced degrees that I have from two different universities. I wish that I could go to New York and send out my resume which is quite stellar to be honest and immediately within three or four or five weeks to get two or three good interviews at Fortune 100 corporations in global marketing or international finance and trade which is what I studied when I earned my masters degree. I wish I could get a job at the same level as my education and that means a starting salary of approximately 60 thousand US dollars per year. However those jobs are simply not there. They have vanished. And rightly as Miles has said the only jobs out there are McDonalds, clerks, cleaning jobs, sales jobs, cashiers, and other menial service sector jobs such as working behind the counter at a wireless telephone store and trying to sell 500 minute plans to the walk in customers, answering phone calls from angry customers about there late shipments of 2/thirds steel head screws for industrial containers or something of this sort. I am definitely not jealous of anything like that!. Also chemical engineers computer programmers and any computer science always seem to be doing very well. But besides those three careers everything else is just glorified secretarial and clerical jobs where you are sitting in a little cubicle with your own computer and telephone taking calls from angry customers about their shipments of textiles or caviar or luggage or industrial barrels for $12 an hour. I am definitely not jealous of anything like that. Since the 1990s America has become a nation of clerks.
Hey want a job at Walmart stocking shelves at 2 a.m. for $9.50 an hour? Or maybe you want to be a home health aide for $8.75 per hour?
