I noticed that a number of people here threw Kevin and Als412 (sp?) under the bus because they assumed that neither of them understood or accepted that there weren't any jobs available and both consistently said that there actually was jobs available, and believe it or not, they were right, and what they did not explicitly say, probably because it should have been a given was this:

MOST AMERICANS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO HUSTLE!!

Let me say this again:
MOST AMERICANS DO NOT KNOW HOW TO HUSTLE!!

OK, I understand that many companies are not hiring, and that a lot of the "McJobs" will not hire overqualified candidates, but let me ask you this:

Do you know how to clean houses, wash cars, mow lawns, sing, dance, pick up litter, shovel show, babysit?

Do you have a marketable skill, any at all? If so, you can find work. So you say businesses won't hire you, find individuals who will. Trust me, if you know how to sell yourself, you can never be unemployed. Understand this: Money does NOT disappear, it only gets transferred to those who know how to hustle or has a better hustle.

Folks really need to learn how to be creative in how to make money in these trying times. I tell a lot of folks that they need to think outside the box as far as making money. And yes, you can do it, you just need to step outside of your comfort zone and do what it takes to make it happen. And you know, if people like your hustle, they want to hire YOU, and when they want to hire you, you can call the shots without having to settle, because you're letting them know you're not desparate for money. And being able to do that is an awesome feeling.

Bottom line, it's a matter of:
- Capitalizing on an ability that you can market yourself with
- Knowing how to market yourself
- Stepping outside of your comfort zone.
- Doing the job like a pro and being noticed for your efforts
