Damn... this guy is only ahead of me by a few months. I've been looking for work for over two months now, with no success. Maybe I need to put on a sign and hit the streets...

I think maybe he should grab a bell and a red bucket and at least make good use of his time out in the cold.

No better than the kids at Wal-Mart asking for handouts instead of actually selling something to support their cause.

Innovative, sure.

Waste of time, absolutely.

kind of like "almost famous," but with less kate hudson and jason lee, and more unemployment.

I'm also ahead of you but only by about a month. Hopefully the economy picks back up soon.

i like how he probably spent money on that sign instead of just writing it on cardboard and saving a few bucks.

Thanks. I applied at 3 more places recently. 2 of them seem kind of promising so hopefully I'll be back on my feet buying more gear.

If he spent the time and money he's wasting with this embarrassing display of self pity on getting educated and credentialed in a different field he would have a job by now.
