They also have a much lower standard of living. I'll keep my TV and computer, thank you.

you don't think you could get a job at Mcdonalds for like a week or two to pay back the money you'v owed for over a year?
Naw, nevermind. Go get clean first brah. Much love. You take just as long as you want. No big hurry or anything. Its not like your ever going to pay it back anyways.

You're not the only one that can't hold down a job. There's always growing pot.

My girl works just as hard as me with the business and coming up with new ideas and such so she's not just along for the 'carrots'.
I'm jobless and have sorry work ethic, yet i'm a full time college student. Does that make me a loser?
You seem to be very entitled to your own opinions. I'm quite like this guy, I will not, if it is merely possible, work 40 hours a week doing the regular bullshit. I'm not a robot and don't wish to be one. If it makes you happy that you wake up, go to work, buy food, go to sleep, wake up, go to work, buy food, go to sleep.. then by all means i'd say you would find a grass blade amusing.
Some people don't show the same pessimistic views as you do.. and i'm probably going to be a psychologist before it's all said and done.

blah, i kind of went on a rant there. Let me get clear here.
First, some people were brought up without the work ethics that some people were. Some people had strong fathers teaching their sons day in and day out how to work and be a strong person. Well, i'm one of those people that didn't. All though my father was in the Air Force and is a loving father by all means, that doesn't mean he knew how to raise a son properly. Me being an only child made it even harder.
I've worked at UPS, as an electrician apprentice, in AC/heat.. all kinds of labor work to go along with mcdonalds and burger king. It's just not my thing and not something that I will be happy doing the rest of my life. I couldn't stand doing the same schedule for 25 years untill i retire. That's just not in me, i'm sorry.
So, I decided after, I just wouldn't be happy in the labor department and that I needed to do something and that me being only twenty years old, college was perfect. I've completed two semesters and have learned valuable lessons on each of the semesters.
All though the classes I've had to take hardly required any kind of "work", it's going to get harder. Given how smart I am, school doesn't really require the work ethic that holding down a job such as being an electrician would.
Hell, try being under a house for eight hours a day working as an air condition repair man. Sure, moneys great, happiness sure isn't though. Especially when the next day i'm in a 140 degree attic.

It's no suprise a bunch of burn outs on here. Basically all you said Ego Death is justification's for you being lazy self-centered piece of shit "do what I want, work when I want, fuck over whoever I want." Oh that's really cool attitude to have, in high school maybe. I guess you probably didn't finish that so that might be where your stuck with your job, maturity and intellectual development.
Anyways I think it's pathetic you can't keep a job because of faults of your own, poor performance, calling in 1-2 days week, or whatever you people do to get fired for.
Ego Death - The bitter old people who spent there who life working for the man, are you suggesting they would not be bitter if they were Homeless, poor and broke instead because that's the alternative. And if you don't like working for the man, why not make YOU THE MAN if your so smart open your own business?
oh I'm sorry... I almost took like seriously there for a minute. Bwahahaha
No offense, but people like you make going to work a very dreadful process. I'm not sure where or when in American values it became the standard to be expected to work 90 hours a week at a job you hate and be constanly ridiculed and slandered by your so-called employer, but I have more respect for myself than that.
Certainly people should work to provide for the basic needs for themselves and their loved one. But when you start calling people slugs for saying they are unmotivated to work their life away that has absolutely zero impact on your personal life, I have to question your intentions.
I myself work a job I do not like at all but I do it to survive. I've though about starting my own business many times but lack the resources to do such. Tell me Mr. Better Than Everyone else because you work a lot and have your own business, what are your secrets? I don't think it's very fair if you are calling people names if you won't share them. Where did you get the capitol to open your own business? Did you have to take one for the man or did your parents give it to you>?

Shroomism is totally right,People like Raw do make the work environment a fucking dreadful place.
The last job I had was around 6 weeks ago and I was fired because I wasn't enthusiastic enough.I was doing the work just fine,mind you.It was pretty amusing coming in to work and the boss stopping me from punching in and telling me all that Seriously,I'm just not a enthusiastic person to begin with.
Just look at these zombie eyes!

Oh well,more job hunting at careerbuilder.com

not me. but i ALWAYS cause dramatic problems at work, lol.
im the guy that'll never miss a day of work and be the hardest and kindest worker and then ill start talking about how i want another job just so that everyone is like "oh no, your such a good worker, you cant leave". i've done this at every job.
but i have noticed that i keep on getting better and better jobs which leaves me at the conclusion that even though at the time im just saying that im going to leave for attention, it is in fact the best thing to do.
dont let work bother you though, make it your playground if you have to.

So dude...how do you care, man? You seem culturally conditioned from my point of view. Is that what it is? Or is there some secret to being satisfied with the standard 40 hr workweek?
LET ME KNOW MAN. I'm desperate to give over my life's time for a few dollars and the feeling that I accomplished something.
Uh...glad it gives you jollies to work and make money....
the way i see it is, if you at least pretend to care and at least act like your doing a good job, you wont have to worry about losing your job and finding a new one. it's nice to be able to go in, do it, go home, and not have to complain about it.
it sounds like you just haven't found the right kind of work. what do you do? what have you done? what kinds of things do you think you might like?
there's no point in getting the same kind of jobs if you dont like them. step out on a limb and try something new, give it some time, and see where it goes.

there's nothing wrong with switching jobs frequently. As long as you are able to support yourself and your needs, that should be more than sufficient 
I am the same way and feel no guilt whatsoever about it.
I remember when you initially got that job at the pet store...you were just loving it.
You'll find something you enjoy again, for a little while, which is all that really matters. And eventually, after enough searching, you could find a job that you will enjoy for a more permanent amount of time
