Occupy Wall Street isn't about job hunting. What's so hard to get about that? How is corporate and political corruption going to be addressed by anything you're saying?

We don't need your help with this condescending nonsense. Trolls are simply trying to shame people into silence the same way some parts of our government do. Pay attention to the facts such as the motherjones.com charts anotherone773 posts below. Educate yourself.

I did. The odds of being a millionaire - 1 in 22. Nice. Show another system where there are odds like that.

But wholeheartedly agree with OWS about money out of politics and tax payer money out of industry. No bailouts, no govt. support for failing industries. There is a reason they are failing. Injecting more money into them only pushes back the date of their demise.

That's based on net worth, not income, just to be clear.

I'm a molecular biology major at my university.

I want to be able to research - I'm mad that the USG spend ~$300 billion per year paying interest on our national debt, when that money could be going to the NIH (which gets ~$30 billion) or other science programs. I'm mad that the debt has gotten this high in the first place. I hate the current system of having to write grant after grant in order to get funding, and how you can't focus on the core science because you're too busy trying to come up with half-assed 'applications' that are too early to be used. Science operates best when scientists don't have to worry about survival.

I hate that so much money circles in the traders, who contribute nothing real to society. I hate the way the current finance system works on debt, which always blows up in your face in the future. I hate that corporations don't have an incentive to spread alternative energy or sustainable living methods.

I hate off shore secrecy banks that allow dictators to exist. I hate how the current financial system is draining wealth away from the people to a few group of people. The people need that money (for example the scientists), not the dictators or bankers or corporations.

They do not want to work. Look around for a few days. People have offered jobs to them.

College Another contract being a Project Manager once this contract expires. Near Philadelphia and I can't move as I am taking care of elderly parents.

Febs, have you tried monster? I don't know your specialty but there are 703 postings for PM in Philly. I know some people think monster and such are a waste of time but it's worth a shot. Lord knows I got sick of using those job searches.

Oh I know how to look for a job - I am not worried at all.

I just answered the questions.

those are questions, not offers

[-] 1 points by dantes44 (431) from Alexandria, VA 13 years ago

If you can't answer those questions, how am I or anyone supposed to offer?

[-] 1 points by RichardGates (1529) 13 years ago

ah, you are under the impression that everyone answers to you. money talks, i suggest you keep walk'n

[-] 2 points by dantes44 (431) from Alexandria, VA 13 years ago

I'm not an employer. I just want to get a general feel of all the people bitching about no jobs. There are jobs. However many are entry level and I guarantee people like yourself would deem that beneath you. So, I'll keep walking to the bank. You sit there and yammer on and on and not accomplish a damn thing.

But I'll give you one thing. To have the support of the American Communist Party AND the American Nazi Party is a great accomplishment.
