Anonymous asked: Just saying, it is kind of ridiculous that you talked about people getting off their lazy asses to find a job. It sounds silly coming from someone that's just started their first job?Not everyone's city has even a DECENT rate of employment. I work thirty or more hours a week, take sixteen credits and try to take care of my little sister cuz my parents work too much. I think your post struck a cord since a lot of people are stuck without jobs, especially in the state I live in.

This is the first time I’ve been legitimately employed. I’ve been self-employed and ran some businesses for about a year and a half now, and still going. That’s how I’ve made my income. But my mentors always told me, “always have multiple streams of income.” If you knew what I did, you’d understand. But if you’re open minded by any chance, you should read Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. Very great book! Sorry for the misconception lol. And that’s true. But I don’t know if you knew this, but Nevada (state where I’m located) is always ranks top 5 states with highest unemployment rates. I know, it’s unfortunate for people who are stuck without jobs. But remember, that can change. The power to have a job is really in the persons hands. Because everything in life is a numbers game. In this example, if someone talks to enough employers, I 100% guarantee that they’ll land a job. But there are people out there that would apply 5, 10, 20 times, get interviews, get rejected, and quit. But if people stuck it out much longer and did whatever it took to get a job, they can do it. But lack of consistency, persistence, drive, and work ethic will not help at all. And I hope you can agree with me that there are many people out there who do lack those characteristics, therefore not being able to find some sort of employment. S.I.N.A.L.O.A (Safety In Numbers and Law of Averages). But I admire your work ethic anon! Keep at it!
