Move to Canada boys. Here in Winnipeg the UR is around 5%. Work is easy to come by, but thats the thing: it's work.

NextLine, you should take one of those shit jobs while you're looking for the dream. If nothing else, at least it will pay off the gas money you burn while job hunting. And remember that you start as low man on the totem pole, no matter your qualifications. You might have to work weekends. Big deal. As soon as the next new guy is hired, those weekend shifts are gone. It's better to have something than nothing at all.

And I was serious about the move to Canada. While we may follow your every economic move because we too suck the proverbial American teet, it's a different situation. For the last few years, skilled labour has been in dire need. I started at $20/h last summer doing road construction. And if you get on with the City like I did, primo. I worked Tuesday to Friday, 7 to 5. Three day weekends all the time. It's a nice setup.
JohnnyZ Reviewed by JohnnyZ on . Economys killin' me. me and my girlfriend are trying to move out of our place but I need a better job to afford where we want to move and there are absolutely NO jobs hiring that are worth even applying for. Its ridiculous. Im finding awesome paying jobs, like $16-20/hourly, but theyre all either part time or less, and some even seasonal! Is anyone else in a similar predicament? Rating: 5
