My daddy taught me there is always work out there for those who really look (although my son seems to disagree).<BR/><BR/>Kris, you're certainly right. Service is a long forgotten word.<BR/><BR/>Neil, somehow, I just can't get into the fancy coffees. But I do have a post banging around in my head about the coffee I got at a Denny's a few weeks ago. Maybe it will come out soon...<BR/><BR/>Chuck, there's definitely a lot of call for nurses. I also heard about a "traveling nurse" program. Basically you can sign up to work 2 weeks in Houston, then 2 weeks in California, then 2 weeks somewhere else. Not the perfect job for everyone, but an interesting way to see the country.<BR/><BR/>Bugaboo's mommy, you know we all say that ("do you want fries with that"), but sadly, the folks behind the counter rarely try to even smile, much less provide service (like Kris said) anymore.<BR/><BR/>Thanks all...Randyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16477949304113673930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11666785.post-10635928734327790042008-12-17T06:19:00.000-05:002008-12-17T06:19:00.000-05:00Randy - There are still high paying jobs on certai...Randy - There are still high paying jobs on certain job sites - <BR/><BR/>www.linkedin.com (professional networking)<BR/>www.monster.com (keyword job search)<BR/>www.realmatch.com (matches jobs based on skills)<BR/><BR/>Good luck to those seeking workRaymondhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06546065842576113809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11666785.post-11830252850220991992008-12-16T13:16:00.000-05:002008-12-16T13:16:00.000-05:00we have lost the word 'service' in the service ind...we have lost the word 'service' in the service industry. <BR/><BR/>kwKrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436490783036974851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11666785.post-35506963501238712612008-12-15T19:49:00.000-05:002008-12-15T19:49:00.000-05:00Uh, as tempting as that sounds . . .I was at McD's...Uh, as tempting as that sounds . . .<BR/><BR/>I was at McD's with my youngest the other day and they were passing out free cappucinos.

It is a profession I genuinely enjoy. Now though, it's a lifeline for us. With the aging population and aging nurses, I do not worry much about my job. The one risk I face is that my wages could stagnate with decreased number of people with private insurance but I will have a job.Chuckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02467510776931664234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11666785.post-2536210557551649732008-12-15T19:21:00.000-05:002008-12-15T19:21:00.000-05:00Do you want fries with that?Do you want fries with that?Buggaboosmommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14682131502318834635noreply@blogger.com
