Getting a Job in a Recession

According to a recent article by the Economic Policy Institute, there are fewer jobs in this recession than the last one in 2001. Average hourly wages have dropped lower then they were six years ago. Not to mention that a college degree no longer guarantees health and retirement benefits (fuck retirement benefits).

So what are my options? If you value life above money then you have plenty. This week is about teaching abroad. For most of these positions the only requirement is a college degree and a passport.

Life after College: Now what

On May 10th, 2008 I became a college graduate. I entered the ranks of the select few. I should be proud and above all, excited about my future.

Fuck the future.

All I see is drudgery. I am the new youth. I don’t want to go to work for the next 30 to 40 years at a job that I hate. I don’t care about pension plans and retirement. I want to see the world. I want to make a difference in the world that I see. I am brilliant and can do anything, but I’m doing it my own way.

Join me. There are alternatives to the 9-5 job.
