Journal Elpacoloco's Journal: Ars Economicas 2

Okay, this is going to be tricky.
Apparently the slump is over, and it's possible to get jobs now. I need one: I did not have any paid employment during 2003, and supported myself collecting aluminum cans.

Now once I'm done laughing at the amature video game made about this unusual livelihood, I have realized that I need paying work.

I'm a computer geek with a half-finished degree in computer science. I use a lot of linux, and family members tell me I would make a great teacher. I could get an accountant's certificate in 3 months, or a nursing certificate in 3 months. It will take 2 years to finish my degree (at least. The college keeps changing the requirements.)

I am applying to the following companies: McDonalds, Borders Books, Wal Mart, and the Hobby Lobby.

I live near Houston, Texas. Places for me to work will have to be within 100 miles of there.

What company would be most interested in hiring someone of my specifications? And why have most companies been ignoring my resume?

  • ... heh.. I'm about 80% done with an ass degree and I'll go back someday, really... but I digress:

    Most colleges set your requirements in stone at the time you enroll. You ought to check into that. For example, I only have to take 62 credits to graduate with an ass. degree, but anyone who enrolled from Spring '02 on has to do 68 credits. If they require that you accept the changes, maybe you ought to look into transferring?

    • Mostly I suspect these "changes" are that they cannot freaking remember what the requirements are.

      It's a 2 year college.
