Just curious what everyone's job(s) are?

[Johnnny]

OceanDude I said

Quebec's educational system is all f^cked up compared to the rest of Canada & the US

OceanDude Canada does have community colleges.

I also said

we don't have community colleges, only private f^ckn' colleges that cost between $12-$15K for 1-2yr programs. Not an option.

When I said we don't have I meant we as in only the province of Quebec. Ontario (were I'm originally from), Vancouver, Edmonton & the rest of Canda do have community colleges.

It's just Quebec which is why I said our educational system is all screwed up & different compared to the rest of Canada & the US.
But thank you for your information it sounds about right. If you have any suggestions I'd apreciate it thanks.

austinite so what do you suggest I do? Like I've said in previous replies recently I have been doing photoshop work for a computer company & have been looking for a year for a similar job once I heard these rumors about a few certain divisions moving to Vancouver I started looking for a job at the end of last summer & have had no luck finding a similar job. So if I don't find something or any job for the time being & then get into another field, I'm going to be stuck without a "real" job.

Johnnny, I didn???t know that Canada did not have public colleges and junior colleges. I would not like a system like that either.

Wish I could give you some optimistic ideas for jobs. I consider myself a realist in these matters. I have been saying for 20 years that the economy is artificial and the jobs in the US are phony and manufactured. The only thing keeping the jobsd going at all is government spending through taxation. This is not a political complaint so much as it is a ???system??? complaint. The way I see it and have been seeing it for a long time, we are all working for the government. They insanity of the system is the process.

The process goes something like this: create co-dependency and conduits of government spending (e.g. take a classless society and make through legislation as many classes as possible), manufacture protected classes, regulatory initiatives, laws, conflicts [internal and external], bigger government, licensing etc.); tax those that enter the workforce to serve the government (got to pay the piper); expand government and spending; call it economic growth; increase taxes; make more jobs etc. etc.

So once you realize that there are very very few ???real??? jobs to begin with and most are an artifact of government spending and taxation you realize the sobering reality that any job ties to this process is at the whim or competency of the political forces. About the only one that is not in this category are things that the government can???t change ??? birth-and-death cycles. This is why doctors are in such demand since a person will spend every penny of his entire life savings to live a little longer and to grasp at anything that has a glimmer of a chance of giving us an illusion of immortality. This is an economic principal and applies to food and clothing as well. A similar relationship exists with trial lawyers ??? especially those with assets that commit murder. They will spend every penny to stay out of jail and that is in fact the traditional charge a lawyer will require of a condemned ??? his life estate.

My advice is to try to find a job not tied to government spending or to become part of the problem and join the government. The government in this country has just about become the majority and will never vote themselves out of a job. Alternatively, if you are adventurous you can become an entrepreneur and try to invent a product or service or get into marketing of someone else???s ideas. But it can be a long time before you have any form of income and most in the category tend to be dreamers and not realize how hard it is to make it in a very competitive market.

OD, You're supposed to make him feel more optimistic about finding a job

 

[OceanDude]

ooops... Like I said I'm a realist.

I did give a hint though: a cushy no stress government job with guaranteed raises and almost no chance of ever getting fired or a trial lawer or a doctor.

OceanDude what type of requirements would one need to get a government depending on what job it is? I've always thought about a government job. But being in Quebec I'm not sure how possible it is with the whole french thing.
