Why is it so hard to be a part-time bank teller (or to get any job)?

[Aeson]

Sounds like you've got another taker... (I'm not talking about DaShi)

[Ben Kenobi]

How sure and how much more money?

For 1600 valid emails? At 5 per email because they are valid, and fresh? You'd earn about 8500 a year, and that's just for one sale.

Up to you to figure it out! I'm off for a week because I'm running a conference, cya later, kisses for KH!

If no more than two people turn up, will you be celebrating your stunning success in running an invitation list so selective that must have captured only the elitiest of the elite?

In this very thread, a few people said it's all about connections... connections poor people don't have.

You should travel a bit. Go to China or India for a month. Your perception of poverty will
change, I guarantee it. Even poor people in the US are better off than most people in the
world. But it's not just that the US is rich, it is also probably the country with the most
upward mobility in the world. Don't give up and you'll do well eventually. You're not old,
if you want it you can get another degree by the time you're 30, for example.

upward mobility in the world.

Apparently not.

[VetLegion]

Perhaps not the most then, but among the more mobile certainly.

Nevertheless, if Al suspects that his muslim name is perhaps a problem... well,
let him try in those other countries. I bet it would be even more problem than
in the US.

[Jon Miller]

Probably not among the more mobile in first world countries...

Zoe, since you're a successful business owner I'm sure you know this, but I have a simple assignment for you. Calculate the following:

1)Cost of your time sorting through resumes
2)Cost of your time conducting interviews
3)Cost of any screening programs (ie, background, drug, etc.) that your company contracts out for
4)If 3) is inapplicable, estimate instead the cost to your organization of hiring criminals/drug users
5)Cost of training. For simplicity's sake, we'll simplify this to (Hours of training for trainee X Average hourly rate) + (Hours of training for trainer X Average hourly rate) + Cost of any training materials. Add to that estimated opportunity cost of having inexperienced employees learning from their mistakes early on.
6)Cost of legal fees/unemployment costs resulting in high turnover.
7)Multiply all of this by the number of times you go through this per year.

Beginning to get the picture?

IMO, too melodramatic.

[Solomwi]

Please, Al, for the love of all that is good, submit that without changing a single letter.

[Asher]

IMO, too melodramatic.

Too many words fast-food management would not understand.

[ZEE]

Please, Al, for the love of all that is good, submit that without changing a single letter.

Service is not what a burger flipper or a glorified manager/director/executive who directs burger flippers provides.

Oh get over yourself. I consistently appreciate all that they do for me and I'm willing to pay top dollar for it. I'm hungry and I'm busy and they satisfy both needs with remarkable efficiency. The epitome of value.

What I don't need is to have thousands of tax dollars wrested from me by a monopoly on the use of force only to pay some glorified mercenary to blow the brains out of some stranger in another frivolous misadventure so he can stroke his own ego, any more than I need to pay someone to dig holes and fill them back in again.
