careers for idiots?

Question

I'm 47, single, living with my mom, and am about $15000 in debt, not including credit cards. I graduated high school in '77, started at University of Houston, got sideswiped by a car while on my motorcycle, returned to college in '82 after doing odd jobs, and declared Finance my major. I tried for several years to get into Investments but couldn't understand why I was turned down repeatedly. I finally landed a job in a commercial bank in '84. The bank then laid me off in early '85 (oil bust) and I felt screwed.. I didn't know that sometimes the good guys get the axe. And other banks that had hired my coworkers wouldn't even consider me! I tried to get special considerations from the dean of Finance in '85 (some of my my classmates had gotten similar favors), and was turned down by the dean. Seeing the economy going south I quit school again. After all, my education hadn't prevented me from getting dumped. I went through an extended period of unemployment, tried to start a business in '88, and finally landed in telemarketing in '89. More low-level jobs followed and then I got what I thought was the break. I had a chance to return to college and get a BS Social Science plus a CIW certification. Now I was set to become a computer programmer. After all, I had a degree plus training in Java, HTML, Perl, PHP, Javascript, ASP!! I was no longer going to be the failure that I had become. I went to the local WorkSource meetings, registered with about 100+ agencies, looked online, scoured buildings in my area, talked to every one I knew, redid my resume a dozen times, attended a job search workshop, and did every thing you are supposed to do to find a job. About four miserable years later my mom and I were on food stamps, had about $4 in the bank, no major assets, no jobs forthcoming, and thoughts of just ending it. I couldn't figure it out because this time I had done it right.

I had completed my education and times were supposed to get better. Suddenly a little company in my neighborhood hired me for $7.50 an hour to do customer service over the phone. I bought some new underwear for myself that Christmas, started putting money in the bank, and even got promoted to Help desk at $8.50 an hour. But, alas, the manager at this little office started purposefully cutting my hours and such to make me quit. I took it for a while but my dignity got in the way. I told him I was out of there and went home to continue my job search that had begun several months earlier when I noticed things getting bad. I have looked at positions (again!) such as finance clerk, customer service rep, junior economist (social science degree), Web assistant, computer operator, etc. Once again it seems as though nobody really cares or appreciates what I have done or can do. Now, 3 months later, my mom are still on food stamps, I have $277 in the bank, and no jobs forthcoming. We're once again living off of her social security and her part-time job. I really like the areas of Investments, Entrepreneur, and Computers. I hate customers service and waiting on people. Where do I go from here? Thanks.

I am not sure if he is even human. I cant stand the fact that people are so cruel to animals. I wish he was getting more of a punishment -but in this world, illegal gambling and betting is more important than the pain and suffering of animals so maybe they will give him a good long vacation in prison for that at least. He should be banned from the NFL for the animal cruelty as well as the other offenses.

Answer 5

Well first of all have you thought about starting a business of your own dealing with finance. You could always be a financial advisor, financial planner, or you could be a daily money manager for the elderly that need help getting their finances in order. This could really help you plus there are a lot of people in debt and you could help them to repair their credit for a small fee. Another thing you could do is be an insurance adjuster.
