Job Experience Required For Everything… Here’s My Theory. Am I Right?


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?

3.A lawsuit has been filed against the company seeking $50 million in damages for customer injuries. Because management is concerned that news of the lawsuit would depress the price of the company’s stock, they have decided to keep the lawsuit a secret from their stockholders.

Cheetahs In Australia.?


I came up with a very off the wall idea
Introduction of cheetahs into Australia.
I thought of it because the niche that cheetahs fall into isn’t really filled here. We don’t have any large land predators and it seemed at first glance that they might do well here without competition.
I’d like you guys to imagine this hypothetical situation.
think about what kind of consequences it might have.
and
how would they fair in our environment?
would they be able to live and breed in the wild?
what part of Australia would be ideal what part would not be.
what prey would they choose?
how would they impact the other animals here and in what ways.
would they compete with other feral animals?
and which animals would be most affected
how would a wild population of cheetahs affect the people and farmers. would they become a problem or leave them alone do you think?
whatever else you can think of.
