You're not by any chance in the northeast, are you? I am going to need my roof done in the next year or so.

[Natural Man]

wasnt the world suposed to end anytime soon according to you wiggy? so whats the point anyway? 

[hrspwr1]

How about cult/church leader. You could preach DOOM and end times prophecy to a nice flock of sheep, maybe hook-up with the females and make a good living.

You're right...and McDonald's burger flippers should make $15/hour.    

How about people start by seeking to do the best job they can do to "earn" more and better.  Spoiled western workers are the reason innovation, entrepreneurship, and investment capital have flowed away.  You're not "owed" anything by an employer outside the agreed upon wage for labor exchange.  You want more...then earn it.

[Leatherneck]

Have you looked into the Troops to Teachers, Troops to Truckers or Troops to Roughnecks programs?

Wielder sounds best so far.
You could also become a software developer for mobile devices.
One of the most lucrative jobs in our region was working at a cigarette factory - mostly easy hours and huge pay... parking lot was full of cars that had expensive written all over them.
Thanks to big government the plant was moved outside western Europe and many former employees are happily working other jobs for way less pay.

[Melkor]

Fitter-turner. Always work for those with that trade.

Yes, they should. I was just thinking about this. And at first I wasn't didn't agree, but if you live in places with a high cost of living, minimum wage today, you can't live on.
Or if you are a young person living at home and get a job at mcDonald's. Car payments are regularly in the $300 dollar a month range, then there is insurance, cell phone, etc. Things, and goods cost too much due to inflation.
Also, this is one reason why some people turn to dealing, because one can make more money dealing than working at a fast food place. The only problem is, if you get caught and are found guilty. Then nobody wants to hire you, period. That is the gamble.
Many painters are making 10-15 an hour, yet someone who is responsible for your food is not.

[Henda]

we have to bear in mind when suggesting trades that wiggs is one of the laziest fuckers on the planet, so please suggest jobs of a far less physical nature please

[Natural Man]

life is unfair. Why work to survive in the first place?

Hehe, it's almost as if you're thinking anyone can just become a software developer. They can't. It's not something you can easily switch off from when you get home from work. It's a lifestyle. You have to love it to be able to do it to professional and commercial quality. You can be an electrician and hate your job, and still make a living from it. Not the same with software development. This is coming from a guy that used to write code for a living. It's hard if you don't love it.

No reason for car payment. Buy it cash. Phone you can buy cheap or get it through work. Insurances, unfortunately, is a fact of life. I pay a good few 100 for mine a month.

The biggest 'expense' is people trying to live above their income levels. One missed salary payment and the house of cards comes tumbling down. It's stupid and you're an idiot.
