Affiliate Marketing Secrets

Okay,
So it would be best if someone who is like a head-hunter, or an HR scout to answer this… I’m basically going to tell everyone my theory, and then ask if this is correct. If it’s not, please cite what you think IS the correct theory.
Here goes…
Every dang job out there now, whether it’s posted on monster, craigslist, in the local newspaper, etc… all state that they want no less than 2-5 years experience. Okay… now every job field is different. But, what in the heck is really going on? Is there some secret club where all the “cool kids” get to find jobs, and everybody else is just stuck on the outside looking in?
I’m not even looking for a job anymore… I said F it, I’m living with family, and starting my own business. If this fails, I’m going to do something I said I never would that could get me in some trouble, but who gives a crap. I need to eat, and because I can’t just live on the land (property taxes), and I don’t have the capital to buy land, I’m left with no choice but to become a Robin Hood of sorts.
So, here’s my observations of what’s going on… I’m 30 years old, and the only people my age that I know who are successful are friends who got into banking before the economy started to slightly descend back in 2004-2005. Everyone I know who was in before that time is doing fine. Some in the 6 figure range. Then there are friends of mine who worked tables and worked in their field part-time (had a graphic designer buddy who did this). Every other person I know who’s doing well is either in a family owned business or is in health care. No one else has yet “made it” — well, except for teachers, and that’s kind of a joke – no offense to any teachers, but it’s not really part of the “economy” — sort of like the military (I was in the military, so don’t anyone rip my head off).
The babyboomers, except those who were in certain markets, and certain areas of finance, real estate, and businesses that sold/rented merchandise that are considered marginal spending (video/dvd rental stores, etc, furniture) seem to be doing okay. Seem to be doing okay I said… and even some of them are NOT doing well. I know a few.
But all the jobs I see out there have this strange demand that everyone have 2-5 years experience. My theory is that what is REALLY going on is, the babyboomers are all just swapping jobs. The employers know this, and so they can just demand that any candidates they interview have 2-5 years of experience. I don’t personally have any technical skills such as I.T., engineering, or process operations, but when I was looking for a job – before I gave up and started the business – I kept noticing that all these fields such as IT, engineering, oil/gas refineries… anywhere I thought a person could earn a good salary basically… and it seemed not a one of them had any kind of ‘trainee’ program available. Even Valero Corporation’s operator trainee position prefers a person to have experience in the field.
So, what else is there to assume? Have these companies all become so danged inefficient at training people? Are they that incompetent that they can’t take a person with a good work history and teach them job duties and operations of their equipment? I DEFINITELY have an incredibly good work history… I’ve never called in sick even one time in my entire work history.
I really do feel bad for all these people… and sadly, the babyboomers (our parents) kind of have their heads up their orifices about this, and they don’t see what’s shortly coming on the horizon if people don’t wake up and start choking some politicians to take the power of the purse out of centralized control of private enterprise bankers at the Federal Reserve, and start coining and printing TRUE national money again WITHOUT usury [interest, for you non-Bible readers 😉 ].
Because if our government doesn’t get their heads out of their orifices too, this country is going to be ripe for a pretty dang violent and bloody revolution. If you can’t see that coming, it’s only because your bank account and belly are too full.
But all that aside… do you all think that could be what’s happening? Is it just that the babyboomers are literally swapping jobs?

Hey. I compete in jumpers and am trying not to loose my amateur status. I’ve never taught for money (often volunteer my time teaching for free or coaching at shows though – always unpaid) but am getting ready to undertake in something that I’m not sure would cause me to loose my amateur status.
My parents own a small property (10 acres) that we have slowly built into a small equestrian center. It was just me riding at the barn then my brother but now we’ve started into sales. With the bad market we’ve found a little niche taking in unbroke fuglies off craigslist, breaking them, putting 3 months on them and selling. Sometimes we make money off them but more often that not the ones in poor condition cost us far more than we sell them for but we enjoy it.
I manage the horses on a daily basis, train them, market them and show them to potential buyers. Does this cause me to loose my amateur status? Since I have done fairly well at selling these horses, a few people have asked me to ride, market and show their horses to buyers. I don’t get paid for this but if/when I can get the horse to sell, I get 10% of the sale price for my efforts. (Usually about $100-$200 for 4+ months of work).
So basically, can I be a barn manager and sales agent without loosing my amateur status?
Thanks

I don’t want to give away much about it, but I want a simple classifieds site built. It would be a 3-5 page website. Again, very simple site (along the same lines of a craigslist, but something with color and wayy less categories, as this will be focused on one specific market niche). Can anybody refer me a web designer/builder that they know is quality? I am working on a budget as well so nothing astronomically outrageous…thank you in advance!
