It has been an endless battle trying to find a job and this economy is not helping any either. It seems like the economy is supposed to be rising, but where I live has a high amount of unemployment. I think it has something to do with the lack of industry. It looks like you can only have certain amount of people work in the retail and the fast food, and with the building boom burst, it looks like anything with the plumbing, construction, and electrical seems to not find some work. But there are some obvious things that need jobs these day - farming and factory work, and more traditional jobs. It seems like there is an overflow of the health care and human services - not everyone is cut out to be a nurse or doctor. We need to feed ourselves - not let the Chinese people feed us and we need to make things. The reason why things are so expensive because we need to feed ourselves, not trade our necessities for survival for other countries.
I am one of these job snobs too - it looks like people don't want to get their hands dirty. It seems like there are a lot of people are going into white collar pencil pusher jobs or into something like video game design, which is very head up your butt. We are in the modern world of the internet - these are skilled hobbies that you can learn to do on your own. For example, music production could make a great at home business. The same thing with woodworkin or any traditional artisan jobs, which my mom is doing.
But we need to contribute to society by fullfilling our basic needs - we need to learn to feed ourselves. There is an easy way to fix the food shortage that is going on throughout the world - use smaller farming techniques and even at home manufacturing business. There will be plenty of food for everyone if everyone learns not to be greedy and not to be picky eaters - you'll eat rat if you have to - it doesn't taste that bad. The evil corporate farming most likely runs the small farms out of business, causing a shortage. The more traditional way of farming and hunting will help create food. Then we can inseminate animals as well to create more animals. I doubt there will be a shortage of animals or endangered species. We are on the top of the food chain and there will always be critters.
But some critters we do need to keep such as horse and dog, and cat, which have a lot more intelligence than the other critters. Some of these critters make great pets and pets are really good for us. I don't think cat tastes that good. You should wait til your cat or dog dies naturally before it is food.
But anyway, I am trying to figure out what jobs are suited for me. Of course, I have McDonalds on the brain but McDonalds is a cliche job everyone gets and it seems like the people at McDonalds are more laid off workers. Teens working at McDonalds are probably pains in the butt. I should think about the working conditions at McDonalds - you have to sit in a compact spot and you have to a repetitive task, day in and day out. If you seem to have any intelligence, you will be bored with the repetition because you need the stimulation. And it seems like you have to stay on your toes and keep at a certain pace, you can't lollygag. There is a nice feeling of serving food but it looks like there are a lot of hungry people that just want a quick bite to eat. A more sit down restaurant will be more relaxed, you get to move around and see more people. You don't see that many people at a McDonalds unless you are at the til or doing the janitorial work.
Working at a department store such as Kohls will be a lot better for me. I get to move around, see different people, and always have things to do. It seems like I need to be stimulated in the real world - McDonalds is not stimulation and I will be staring at burgers and fries. The food might be greasy as well and the temperature is very hot in these places, along with the compact space. I think I will be uncomfortable in the compact space. With my personality, I need to be exposed to sensory stimulation and that will be in a store. When I am not stimulated, I will start thinking about things and will start having anxiety attacks and or depression. A person that does not need to be stimulated, such as a dodo might like McDonalds. Usually the repetition might relax them. I should consider the way my brain works and what jobs fit me.
I tend to be more right brain so I see the world more in images, colors, and sounds, along with being more interested in the beautiful things in life. Clothing stores and interior decoration might be the thing for me. I am also interested in style and what is cool, and it seems like I am trying to find out trends. There are certain personality types for certain styles of work and I am trying to find out which personality type suits certain styles of work. I seem to be interested in the more cultural, fun, happy aspect of the world such as music. I also seem to be interested in the natural world as well. Machine and factory, robot, and technology might not seem to stimulate me.
I can stand the technology when I am in the ADHD fog, but it seems like it might not excite me when focused. I see computers as a machine than just an stimulating toy - my maturity level goes up and working with technology might not excite me as much.
