I do nothing, LOL, although I'll be 16 in July so I am probably going to get a part-time job.

I'm a student...only 14, can't get a job yet. I want to work at the movie theater, though. :lol:

You're right in my case. I worked today and just saw this thread a little while ago.

I work at a cosmetics company. Usually as a machine operator, but in my 15 years there, I've learned to do many jobs, like mixing paint. I am also an inventor.

Your post shows that there are those who are (unfortunately) unemployed who are looking for work, and there are those who have been hired recently. Not really any different than 10 or 20 or 30 years ago. Let's just be glad that the unemployment rate is not 10 or 12%.

Currently, I work at a Walgreens, as a cashier and a stock person. Which believe me is ALOT harder then it sounds.

I've been there for a year and a half already. I can't belive it's been that long! Longest I've worked anywhere. And I can't stand the place. Anyways, I can't quit till I find a better job. I refuse to collect unemployment. I'm hard headed that way. Besides, if I'm out of work too long I hit depression. I did the last time when I was unemployed for 7 months. And depression was the worst experience of my life!

Police Officers rule. It is quite possibly the proffession I respect the most. The thought of becoming one has entered my mind before. I'd have no problems shooting lowlifes and claiming self-defense.

I work with kids and I LOVE my job. After the hellish 8 years I spent at Walmart I can't tell you what it's like to have a job that you love to go to. I would cry before I Went to work at Walmart, while I was there, when I got home - I hated it. Aside from a select few teenagers that I have a hard time with I love my job now.

Speaking of police officers 2 of them were killed in the line of duty a couple weeks ago here in Detroit. Some punk that they pulled over got out of his car and shot the both of them right there in the street. The male police officer was only 21 and the female 26. The funeral service was huge and other police officers from all over the country and Canada came to pay their respects. One of the officers father is trying to get a law passed that would give cop killers the death penalty. I sure do hope it goes through.

Classroom aide or something like that. I recently did a two-month internship with special-needs kids and I really enjoyed it.

I agree that cop killers should get the death penalty, but I do
think that the state should adminster that penalty, not citizens.

That is not the reason that you should become a police officer,
in my opinion. If you are going to be one, it should be because
you want to protect and serve the citizens of your city. If all you
want to do is kill people, your local police department does not
want you as an officer. You would be too much of a liability.

I could never become a cop and/or any other law enforcement because I hate guns(got them from MacGyver!!) & I don't want to die!! Plus I am too sensitive and get hurt so, so, easily!!

Ugh. I'd rather shop for groceries at a gas station than get them at Wal-Mart. I'll admit, ours sometimes has a better variety of stuff than our Super Target, but the damn place smells like fish, the meat is bad, there are always people blocking the aisles, the shelves are a mess....ugh!

Mine are across the street from each other and 5 mins away. And I agree...Wal-Mart is not the kind of place I wander around in looking to see if anything cool is on sale. I find what I need and get the hell out before someone pisses me off...which sometimes is in the parking lot before I even go in...

I'm with you. Unfortunately, I shop at Wallyworld because of convenience, too. The closest Super Target is an hour away, now if we had one near here...

When I go up north for my job, I just love shopping at a store named Meijer's. They're mostly in OH, MI, IN & IL. It's like Wal-mart Supercenter, but better. I've been bugging them to start building some here in FL. If they did, I would never shop at Wallyworld again.

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to compare Wal-mart to Disney or Target. Wallyworld was something a friend of mine started calling it years ago, and I just started calling it that. I agree, Disney may be rather pricey but you can't beat the customer service at any of their parks. And I am a stickler for good customer service!! Then don't ask me why I still go to Wal-mart!:lol:

I try to avoid Wal-Mart too after getting terminated and at the Wal-Mart will become a supercenter and will run grocery stores out of business due to their large variety of stuff which the grocery industry hates it when the "800 pound gorillia" comes in!!

That's what I think too. I rarely even go to Wal-Mart(my parent's go most of the time). I only go if I A. want a headache and want to get mad or B. I have too, and if I have too, I know what I want before I get there. You can walk to Wal-Mart(or Walley World, we call it that too) from here. In fact, I can see it out my window right now.

That's funny because our town has 2 Meijers and we can't wait til spring because we're getting our first Walmart! I guess you want what you don't have. :lol: You're right about Meijers being nicer though. Although I think Walmart is cheaper.

They are everywhere and will continue to run other places out of business!!
