Default This show talked so much about unemployment when it only was a problem for James

because he had a 6th grade education. There are not many people who can find a job without a highschool diploma so for this show to always make it seem like it was hard finding a job, that was only the case because of James education background.

And why did he not get his GED before going to that bogus trade school?

James wanted a job that paid well. James did not have a problem finding work, he was always working, he just wanted ONE job that paid well so that he did not have to struggle so much and work two and three jobs. I don't see why you have such a problem with a person getting an education or thinking that getting some sort of education is important. I don't know about you, but I have yet to see any employer who offers a great salary to where a family of 5 could live off of and you do not have to have any kind of HS or College diploma, Unless you have some special talent.

If a person is desperate for a job they will take whatever they can get. When you have bills and no job, you can't be picky.

Receptionist is a good job for a college student home for the summer not for someone trying to make it on their own

A good receptionist can make well over $30,000 a year an GREAT receptionist with years of experience could make much more.

There are no more receptionist jobs, I think you are referring to executive secretaries or administrative assistants

No one makes $30,000 to just answer the phone and direct calls

No, receptionist can make over $30,000 a year. What you're talking about is more in the line of a Front Desk Clerk or Operator. Executive Secretaries, Administrative Assistant is nothing more than a fancy name for Receptionist.

Receptionists are expected to do more than just answer the phone

Well, I know that, and that is why some make over $30,000 a year.
