What to do if I just can't find work Forum

[AZN MegaPoaster]

Generally, when someone who is mentally and physically capable tells me they are unable to find a job what I hear is "can't find a job (that I want)"

Go clean toilets for minimum wage. It'll give you a newfound respect for every other job you will ever have thereafter.

Probably not even worth it for someone with substantial student loan debt to spend their time making $7/hour. What's the point?

Minimize the burden he will be on society and those who actually do work

Not seeing the incentive there. Would you stick your head in a toilet all day so I could pay a fraction of a penny less toward your welfare?

IBR means if you earn below a certain amount you get to keep it.
Therefore, you'd still be making $7 per hour.

I'd rather work than sit on my ass all day complaining that I don't have any money to do anything.
I wonder what on earth people like you would have done in an era before social security and government welfare (e.g. the depression). Would you all have starved to death?

Probably many of us would have, as a statistical matter.

And therein lies the problem with modern America

Yeah, the problem is that the social safety net prevents an adequate amount of starvation from taking place.

I love having a safety net, but I think it should be just that - a safety net.
Preventing people from starving is great. Having people refuse work because it's "not even worth it" is a different matter.
Its why food stamps are better than welfare checks (even if those do get abused)

OP could always work at a law school.

Maybe you just suck.

I look forward to the days when the pending student loan crisis finally hits and IBR is replaced by the Hunger Games. I've been brushing up on my bow and arrow skills.

Kevin James would never be so mean spirited.

Anyway, if I'm being a little petulant here it's because few things push my buttons like a bunch of future BigLawyers ragging on someone for not wanting to wash toilets. It's some serious let them eat cake shit up in here.

I did clean toilets for a living at one point.
I was living hand to mouth for a while and I did have to figure out how to survive on nothing.
Since then, I've never considered a job beneath me.
If I lost my job tomorrow, I'd go back to cleaning toilets if that was the only job I could get.

Well, he's got to eat doesn't he?

Is anyone noticing an uptick in people going to law school/other programs just to live off of the student loan money? I've had several conversations in the last few months where this seemed to be main motivation for going to law school. This didn't seem to be the case a few years ago when I was an applicant.

If I just can't find work, and I need money to (eat, not sleep in gutter,etc) does it make sense to stay in school longer until I line something up?

It would defer student loans and keep finaid coming in to keep the bills paid.

Worth it?

Oh my god. What school to you go to? How bad was your GPA?

Maybe OP should consider teaching English abroad.

HA! Yes! I am glad I am not the only one who has taken-up the hunger games analogy. That's what I was thinking about when I was watching it..."oh, this is law school..."

I'm bringing bees with me to Civ Pro.

The only way it would be worth it is if you were doing joke online courses at a community college for $300 a year to keep loans in deferment. Taking out new loans or paying top-dollar for graduate work are subpar choices.

online classes don't pay living costs. That would defeat the point if the reason is for rent and food.

Online classes DO pay living costs. I speak from experience.

that is exactly what I did and am thinking about doing a PhD for. (to keep living on the loans)

I've known people who havn't but perhaps it varies by the school. Which did you attend? How much did they approve? I ask since it is the school who decides how much you "need" and many don't think you "need" it if it is only for an online college.

woosh to what? Explain (if you can, which you can't)

I was, apparently unsuccessfully, trying to combat flame with even more obvious flame.

yeah you giving useless lies to someone who needs help. You're awsome dude.

Why not get yourself jerbbed? You may not have a great standard of living but at least you won't have more debt.
