Well, my spouse, on a lark and because she doesn't feel engaged enough at SLCC decided to apply for jobs around SLC proper. About three weeks ago she sent out ten resumes, had five call backs within two days, and was hired for a sweet position with an amazing company located up by the U. I'll decline describing the job or her qualifications, but it suffices to say she got the job because she simply went for it.

Anyone who wants to work here in the valley can find employment. “F”, I was hired by the library when I thought I wanted to work. I worked for a few weeks, decided that it was too soon for me to commit my time and energy to something I wasn't passionate about and resigned. I literally applied for the job and was hired within the week. So, LDSFAQs woe-is-me song and dance rings hollow.

Don't forget that faqs corrected everyone's poor understanding of labor economics in big bold letters.

This is why I engaged.

I'm well aware that my special emphasis on faqs will be seen as harsh by some, but after some personal experience with his type, I do not believe that he is merely harmless. Regardless of if his dysfunctional behavior never changes from what has been his norm over the last 15 years or so, I've reached the conclusion that a little blowback is certainly fair.

Thank you Lemmie, EA, Analytics, et.al., for the discussion on economics. I am always grateful for how freely people share their formal educations and knowledge on this board.

It's like I get to benefit from your degrees, without the burden of student debt. :biggrin: :wink:
