I have two well paying jobs, thanks. $30/h at one, $15/h at the other. Not bad for a college kid. You sit your ass down.

No, because I make just as much money as you.

What do I get for making more? Standing on a phone book? Pile of money?

Give me a few years, my salary will dominate yours.

LMAO i was just thinking the same thing.

Then again not sure if i'd ever ask a question like the one above in the c0r.

I've been unemployed for nearly 3 months now (recession is bad in Ireland, probably the worst out of all the European countries)..

Personally, i'm done with it. I'm tired of applying and applying without even getting an interview and only a 1/3rd of the companies getting back to me. I've applied to about 40 jobs now (marketing related) but anyway i wont go into it.

End of the day if getting a bar job is near impossible (as it's that bad here) I've decided to head off and work in another country.

I've applied to a job out in Queenstown New Zealand. I have a few friends out there and really liked it when i was travelling over there. Going to hopefully hear back from them in May and then i'll fly over there in June. Work the Ski season there and then hopefully find summer work to continue working there.

My main concern is of course that this is no career path and that in a few years time i'll be older without too much valuable experience but with all this shit happening around us I've decided it's time to just live life and enjoy my surroundings rather than have to listen to all the shite that's going around me at home.

I could go on but honestly. Your best bet getting a job in this climate is through someone you know rather than applying for them through an online agency, unless you're shit hot they wont even look at you.

It's who you know, not what you know.

Why do nurses get paid well? All they do is say "i'll be right back sir/maam" and then use google to find %string="what is this lump on my chode?" Exempt variables="%herpes+%aids"

actually I haven't been to the doctor in 8 years. I don't know the difference between nurses and doctors anymore.

Yeah, good advice, also my apologies for my part in derailing the thread somewhat. This Nelly chap speaks the truth.

Alternatively, Jenny's line of work all joking aside is pretty stable. After all people will always inevitably be ill, and people always gotta take a shit. So 10/10 for her spotting the job opportunity there.

Jenny's line of work isn't only stable, but definitely under paid (at least in Europe and obviously other parts, i just can't speak for them)

Another added bonus is that you can travel quite well when you're a nurse. I know you could move to Australia and literally be given a Visa within a few days and then be offered permanent residency, they're crying out for nurses.

Depending on where you got your license, yes.


I suppose we're underpaid. My salary as an RN will be capped at just over 70 000 a year. But to me that's a lot of fucking money, more than I need to live comfortably, that's for sure. And I don't even intend to stop after that. I can probably make up to 80-90 000 once I have my master's....more as a primary care practitioner.

That is extremely fucking far from underpaid.

Keep in mind I won't be making that much money right out of school...but it won't take long.
