Ok, like all your n-word posts weren't offensive enough.

If I hear one more person say in ANY context "there are sooooo many jobs in health care" in any context I'm gonna fucking take them out with a tube sock full of wood screws.

The LAST thing we need in this country is people who are only working in health care because that's the only thing that is available. There are enough screwups going on as it is. I'm sick of people trying to push people into this shit field.

I was wondering whether to even engage....

I have spent enough time around health care professionals in recent months to know that they are just as concerned about job security and availability as the rest of us. Belt-tightening is happening everywhere, even in the fields that have usually weathered the economic storms relatively unscathed.

And yes, absolutely, people do not need to go into healthcare unless it is a calling. Particularly not into positions that have them doing patient care. No one wins in that situation.

MC, how did that black one sneak in there?? Didn't the Wasp Housing Association require a photo to be included with the application?

That's how I feel about people now wanting to be teachers. Do you know how many people I know who get laid off call me and say: "I just got laid off. How do I become a teacher?"

I'm nice about it, but I'm thinking, "You won't last a week."

A little late in replying to this post, but so true.

My boyfriend is a history/secondary education major and the job hunt is not going well for him at all.

He just went to a career fair here at school--he said last year close to 200 districts (not all from Illinois) were at the fair...this year there were 60.
