+1 survival of the fittest. The smart ones who are jobless change and adapt to find employment, while others sit around and complain about there not being any jobs.
we are not a strange lot, we are capitalist Two different things Same goes 2nd and 3rd generation of hispanics as well.
It's the government's business. They must take all or most of it and redistribute it to ensure that it is spent wisely.
What's Wrong With the American University System Look, it's not easy. In the book, we did a little exercise on which students Harvard Law School takes. What we discovered was that they play it safe. If you've gone to Brown or Dartmouth or Princeton, you can walk into Harvard Law School. Almost half their incoming students are from what we call the Golden Dozen colleges. The other half are taken from all over the place: Transylvania in Kentucky, Linfield in Oregon. Harvard likes to let in people who are already, shall we say, "one of us." But it also gives people a second chance. An applicant may have started at Missouri Western State, but they want some people from Missouri Western State. http://www.theatlantic.com/culture/...ng-with-the-american-university-system/60458/
wall street is killing main street. i say increase taxes on all risky investment like stocks, futures etc upto 40 %. higher the risk higher should be the taxes.. buying first home should get tax break but buying second home should be taxed by 30 to 40 % and so on.. give tax breaks to small business owner and small companies.
I would mostly disagree with what you said. Think about it. At 49 she has what, 10-15 years of working left, at least? A person who is 49 and looking for a job is looking for something stable where they can work awhile. They arenât going to work somewhere to gain skills and then leave for another company the first chance they get. Think about it, you are a hiring manager and somebody comes to you and says they want a job however at most they will only work for the company for 10-15 years. Think about it, what employer would say no to that? Older people are more reliable, more stable, and bring more of a âpresenceâ if you will, to a workplace. I think there are some exceptions to this though, mostly dependant on the job. Like for instance, I started selling cars a year ago. I was deliverying pizza at the time, so youâd think I wouldnât be the most prime candidate. I think pretty much the only reason I got hired was because I told them I play golf and my living expenses are fairly low so I can go a few months without making much money. Basically, I told them I would stick it out for as long as I could to see if I could make it. One year later, I am no Alec Baldwin, but Iâm still there and doing fairly well. A few older people have been hired after me that were new to the car business and none of them have lasted. They all needed to start making money quickly, and they couldnât. Thatâs not the way it works. You have to first put the effort in. Iâm pretty sure I was willing to do most things that others werenât, basically being everybodyâs bitch so I could learn the business. I also have an older salesman who I confide in that has helped me a lot. So basically Iâm saying that I donât think employers stay away from older people if they think they will last. 22 year oldâs with a degree are a dime a dozen. Older people have life experience, which can only be learned. Maybe I have no idea what Iâm talking about. Whatever. Iâm 26, btw.
