(10 am. – promoted by ek hornbeck)
It was a few days ago when I went to see this.
I was in the D.C. area and since I was recently unemployed I figured “while i’m here” and went to have a look around to see what the climate was like. What I saw was the vision of our job future.
A woman walked out from behind the booth at this one station and screamed “Ok, PhD’s in this line, all others in this line!”
I laughed to myself as I continued to enjoy my sweet potato fries watching this ridiculousness from the sidelines go on. All these well-dressed people, huddled in lines, and then split by order of their degrees.
But behold, the tragic comedy reached a new high (or low?) when an Alpha Plus said to the woman “I have my PhD and some of these people on line only have their Masters, shouldn’t I be in front?”
At that point my laughter had become external and highly audible seeing as everyone was looking at us.
I explained I was a sociologist who was just “enjoying the view”….
(Note: This is an actual job posting located near me.) Job Requirements: The Stockbroker Training Program is an opportunity for a passionate, persistent, enthusiastic, team-playing leader who is willing to learn a craft and work hard to perfect it:
To be eligible for the Stockbroker Training Program, you will have:
* Excellent verbal communication skills – phone skills a plus:
* Strong work ethic and the ability to fully commit to the job:
* Ability to adhere to a high standard of professionalism:
* Ability to work well with others and respect an organizational hierarchy:
* Background in sales, customer service, finance, financial, or banking industries a plus though not required:
Also I have passed the “Series 7” but would never do it again because 7 drugs in 7 days is something you should probably only try once.
And now for something completely different:
Romantic words, but from a more realist stance I see lots of “tongue-in-cheek” legislation that adds more inmates to the prison population temporarily as “time served” in lieu of paying your debts before anybody asks me for improvised pyrotechnics training.
For now though:

Is it 38% now? Might be. Funny how those biblical references from Revelation kinda ring true. That 1/3, 1/3,1/3 stuff about how they fight with each other until “we” exist no more?
