It's more a slap in the face than not having a job in my career field in 18 months of looking.

See, once again you go to name-calling. One minute you stand behind people who are complaining that they can't find jobs, giving the impression that you would be happy for those who would find employment, then you feel the need to tell me that what I have done is not that big of a deal, once I've proved that not everyone is going through this whole economic mess.

Just because you don't agree with someone doesn't mean you have to call them names. Do you have a job? If so, why don't you find jobs for other people on this board? I don't even understand why people were freaking out on Kevin asking him to hire people (that he most likely never met-nor has any idea what kind of work ethic they have) just because he is gainfully employed.

Good for Kevin for being employed. Good for anyone who has a career or is in school working towards a career. Shame on anyone who is trying to put those people down and call them names because they disagree with what they have said.

Good for you that you were able to find a job each consecutive year....but you haven't proved anything except that you and Kevin are asshats when it comes to this topic.

You were able to find a job, good for you. Not everyone can, but you clearly can't grasp that concept. By saying that people should go out and send out XX applications/resumes, or say they should join the military, etc is PROVING (so maybe you did prove something) that you can't grasp that concept.

So just leave it at that. No one is calling you any names, no one is doing anything except disagreeing with you.

You just called me an asshat and Dr.Phil called people who agree with Kevin minions. I don't see why it makes me an asshat because I've offered ways people can find jobs, since they are saying they are having a hard time. Earlier, people were making rude remarks to Kevin because he commented that people should try harder (or whatever he said) to get a job.

If you are given the option to join the military, send out x amount of resumes, do a job you are "over-qualified" for, or do something you don't exactly "love" or feel "passionate" about and you turn it down, then I agree with the article that SOME people (not all) are unemployed because they want to be-not in the sense that people wake up and say, "Wow, I love being unemployed," but in the sense that they have been given options, yet chose to ignore them. There are jobs out there. Some people just don't want to "lower" themselves to do them.

Great comeback. That just proves my point. When you realize that I'm right about the fact you try to find things to tear me down about, but then realize you can't because I don't really care what you think about my employment situation, you go straight to name calling. Are you employed? What is it that you do? Maybe instead of "name-calling" if you are employed, you could do like me and attempt to give solutions instead of trying to start problems.

For the poster who brought "race" into this debate, I'm sorry, but I don't recall Kevin saying anything about race in this thread. Someone else brought up that he didn't agree with the whole outcome of the Jena 6 (or something along those lines). Guess what, I didn't either-but not because of the color of their skin. Does that mean I don't care about minorities? Does that mean I believe those who are unemployed are unemployed because they are lazy blacks?

Please leave this discussion to what it is really about: employment and NOT race. As far as people not joining the military, I said if you are "able-bodied" not for people who clearly can't do it. I get that not everyone can do it. I'm not saying that you should do it, epchick, but you (as far as I know) are not trying to find ways to feed your children. Yes, there are people in the teaching field, nursing field, social worker field, etc. who are there for the paycheck, not because they care. It is a harsh reality, but guess what-that is in EVERY field. Some people start doing those jobs as a paycheck, only to find that it is their passion and something they are really good at.

If I were him I would do it, too.

Must post more WNY/WPA colloquialisms.
