We took driver's ed. in 9th grade. I got an A (it turns out that class was hard for a lot of people and very few got A's for some reason).

That's weird.

And you know it said no posts exist.
:haha:

You changed it!

It's actually called Jeffery Dahmer University named after former student Jeffery Dahmer who gained fame for being a serial killer.

Damher U. has famous alumni such as serial killers whereas famous alumni from U. of M include a former President of the United States (who amongst other things was not a serial killer).

It's even more messed up than I imagined, I didn't know that was a possibility.

Split topic as this has nothing to do with sending kids home from school after a fire.

Why don't you try getting a job in MLB?

You could be an intern for the Dodgers, Padres or Angels.

Or you could work at Disneyland; Knotts Berry Farm?

Sell Real Estate?

Drive a Limo!

Be a Lifeguard

I live 200 miles form the nearest stadium....unless they pay $100+/hr I'm not commuting 3 hours each way.

Disneyland/Knotts Berry farm are 275 miles away - I want $125/hr to work there.

I don't have a real estate license or chauffeur's license or a lifeguard license (plus it's almost winter!)

Hey, that reminds me - I need to update my profile! I don't live in LA anymore

But there were lots of ideas! Keep them coming. We'll find something....

...too bad I didn't live in a big city. You won't make much begging for money in this town

I applied at Target for some position requiring a degree but they didn't ask where I wanted to work. I'm not relocating anywhere!

First post updated with a pseudo-résumé, and info on what I've applied for and the status on each.

Wait a minute.... I haven't even looked at this thread, how have I posted in it?

I split a different thread.

Oh...

Temp agencies, CB?

How do I look into those? Do they have them in small towns?

Just look in the YP under "Temporary Employment" or "Employment"....
some national ones are Kelly, Victor, and Fasco

Sign up with those and you can usually go to work the day after they assess you. You take a little cut in pay but it's a great way to check out a company before you would actually work for them.

See, I told you that you would have better luck than you thought.

any time, CB!! I've been there a few times so am always glad to offer ideas!
Just don't rely on newspaper ads. That has to be the most unrealistic picture of employment.
Another idea is monster.com for a great online job search.

Online searches are tricky because I'm not looking for any particular line of work - any sort will work.

you can tailor it to general fields...clerical/administrative.

Ryan, Try Victor. That's where I went when I was going to quit Carl's and they had a lot of work. My Grandma also went through them and got an office job making pretty decent money. Or you could always go back to flippin burgers and than I can move back to Paso, get my old job back and it would be just like the good old days. Only this time I won't have to leave you in the car when we all go to that one place.

You could join the circus

Or go to Hollywood and become a TV or Movie Star or even a Adult Film Star

Join the French Foreign Legion.

Or hit the gym and bulk up; You could be a pro wrestler.


Join the Navy?


Or Marines?


Be a Cab Driver?


Work at the San Diego Zoo;


Work for the Cable Company

Or Phone Company

LOL! Tons of ideas!

Let's shoot them all down...
Circus isn't in town.
Hollywood is too close to LA.
French Legion won't work around here.
Wrestling will require too much effort.
I don't want a 4 year commitment to anything so no Navy/Marines.
Very few taxis in this area - town is too small.
San Diego zoo is too far away.
Cable or phone company. Hmm....that sounds reasonable!

Good Luck finding a job catbox! If I have any ideas, Ill tell you.

That would make Catbox a stay at home dad


Be he would have to get married and have kids.

Most women don't like being married to stay at home dads, though

If that were the case, I would get married, have kids, quit my job and have my wife work
