Post Number: 2583 Registered: May-07 | only real pointer I can give you is find something or a service that people will always need no matter how bad the enonomy is. I am a bail bondsman/ bounty hunter. People always need to get out of jail. I would love to own a cemetary. It will eventully be full of "customers" |

One of the few businesses doing well right now. People are keeping their older cars longer b/c they can't buy new ones in this economy. |

Couple hundred/night. Of course it helps to live near one. You could always be a man wh0re. |

Gold Member Username: AdddisorderPalm Beach, Florida Post Number: 6440 Registered: Jan-06 | I work for a yacht service company pretty much anything with yachts we do. we havnt laid anyone off like most other people in our field. Weve been slower but still have work atleast. My boss said no one is getting let go either so thats always good to hear. It sucks to be out of work though I know tons of people out of work and not just the younger generation, people in their 40s and 50s unemployed. |

Platinum Member Username: WingmanaliveWww.stainles... .ecrater.com Post Number: 19970 Registered: Jun-06 | Sadly many are faced with that decision. Look for a lower paying job or ride unemployment and work under the table as long as you can. It's an easy decision for most. Problem is after the benefit runs out you're truly at the end of your rope. Plus you owe taxes on it. Then you're FORCED to work for 40% less than what you're used to. Not to mention the more ppl collecting will ultimately drive up the burden on the working class, which you will eventually become a part of again anyway. And if you're a parent carrying insurance on your children collecting isn't helping their health insurance either. And you can suspend any 401K or retirement contributions during that time frame as well. Out of work is more than one step backwards for many. It sucks.  |

Silver Member Username: Gavbo211Olney, IL US Post Number: 993 Registered: Jan-05 | Damn dude sorry to hear that. I work at sam's part time just to have some spending money in my pocket while i'm at school, and we haven't laid anyone off yet. they've been cutting hours on the cashiers though, luckily i'm a cart pusher so i haven't gotten hours cut yet, and i practically get paid to exercise for 5-8 hours a day. |

Gold Member Username: JakeyplaysbassSt. Louis, MO / ASU Post Number: 3563 Registered: Jul-05 | That sucks man, sorry to hear that. I had a fully paid internship available over summer in Phoenix but because the economy sucks so bad they changed it to unpaid so I cant take the position anymore. There is no way i could afford to work 30+ hours a week unpaid and live 2000 miles away from my house, hah. |
