dfreeman616 Posted October 10, 2009 Share Posted October 10, 2009 ...of the underemployed. As of January 2nd, my job is being cut to part time (my birthday, ironically enough). At least I have a couple months to find something. Anyone know of some good jobs in the Grand Rapids, MI area? Or a really good job somewhere else? I only have half a college degree right now. I have my state license to be a mechanic. Update: So I found a job as a mechanic at a local shop, I start Monday :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperWade2 Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Sorry to hear this Dave... I saw your Facebook post as well... Wish you the best of luck finding something bigger and better... I know you have the little one to take care of too! If you lived in Penang, Malaysia, were right out of college, and IT Guru and would work for about $5/hr I could probably set you up with something... :mad: Offshoring, the new "American Way"...YUK!

dfreeman616 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 haha thanks wade. although if those other conditions were true, $5/hour probably wouldn't be so bad. i've got a couple things that may be open to me already, but i figure it never hurts to see what else there is since i'm looking.

Pete M Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Quick! run away while you have the chance! :D At the very least, I guess you'll have a bit more time for the MJ. :thumbsup: That's how my 88 got built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfreeman616 Posted October 11, 2009 Author Share Posted October 11, 2009 yea if i didn't have a mortgage and a family to provide for, running might be more of an option. i'd rather live where there be mountains. by the way pete, i did finally start on those floors on my mj, and found some rust holes where the floor pan meets the firewall on both sides. i'm working on prepping, patching, then por15.

Pete M Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 Make sure you isolate and fix the water leak before putting down the carpet. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
driverdave Posted October 11, 2009 Share Posted October 11, 2009 I am kind of in the same boat here out of work for a few months but no degree when I did find a full time job I lost it because I broke my hand and wrist 2 days before starting, now I'm back to house painting 2 days a week until the snow hits then unemployed again. I have been a house painter 15+ yrs and decided at the wrong time to change jobs. I wish this econemy would turn around so all of us out of workj could make ends meet, fortunately we have our jeeps to tinker with while out of work.
